While some students were finishing up their senior year of high school, freshman Logan Browning was starring in her first motion picture: "Bratz."

The movie, which hit theaters Aug. 3, is about four high school girlfriends who battle with their student body president because the she wants to divide them up into different cliques. Browning played Sasha, one of the four leading girls.

Browning had to work hard in order to get the role for Bratz.

"I auditioned for the role three times, which included acting, dancing and singing," she said.

After her first audition, she was told she did not have the part. She was later called back, the script was re-written, and she auditioned her way to success.

"You get use to rejection," Browning said.

The Bratz movie was filmed at a Los Angeles high school during the second semester of Browning's senior year. She spent a month and a half on the film's preproduction, which included dancing lessons, acting lessons, fittings and director meetings. The actual filming itself also took a month and a half.

Browning said the most difficult part of shooting was being away from home and the busy lifestyle.

"It was difficult being away from my friends and going to work and doing school every day," she said.

Her schedule was strict.

"I would get up, be on set at 6 a.m., do three hours of school work, come home and do it all again the next day," she said.

During filming, she and a fellow costar were isolated from the cast so they could do their work, with a tutor present in case they had any questions, she said.

Browning has enjoyed the opportunities she experienced as a result of the movie.

"We traveled to the U.K. to do a press tour, and I had never been to Europe before," she said.

Her role also landed her appearances on programs like "The Today Show," "The Early Show" and "TRL."

Although she is a professional actress who just landed her biggest gig, Browning remains grounded.

"I didn't get sucked into the crazy life," she said.

At the same time, Browning has experienced what it is like to be known.

"When I was in California and we (costars) would go to the mall or movies, girls would immediately know we were the Bratz."

Browning began her acting career in television before she got the part as Sasha on the big screen.

"My first role as a professional actress was in (WB's) Summerland playing Carrie," she said.

She also played Vanessa on Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified" and appeared in the B5 video "U Got Me" as a dancer.

Although she is currently undecided in terms of her major, Browning wants to take theater classes. She said theater is very different from both TV and film and is excited to learn more.

"Expressions and everything have to be bigger because the camera is not in your face and you only have one take," she said.

While at Vanderbilt, Browning is going to work on balancing both school and her career.

"I'm not going to audition as much as if I were in L.A. I really want to focus on school right now," she said.
