-----------------------------------------------------------------
Peaches Browning (June 23, 1910 – August 23, 1956), born Frances Belle Heenan, was a United States actress. At 15 years of age she married 51 year-old New York real estate tycoon, Edward West ("Daddy") Browning, after Browning had advertised that he wanted to adopt young teenaged girls because his wife could not have children. Once Peaches came on the scene, the first Mrs. Browning was divorced.

In 1926 Peaches tried to obtain a divorce during which the Putnam County, New York trial gained repeated coverage by New York city tabloid newspapers such as the New York Daily News and rival New York Daily Mirror. The story was soon picked up by the national newspapers and the couple became well known in US popular culture of the time. Among the notable incidents were her allegations of her husband's odd behavior including the fact that he kept a honking African goose in their bedroom. Nonetheless, the court turned her down, granting only a separation.

When Edward Browning died in 1934, Peaches was awarded his entire estate.

Peaches Browning died in 1956 and is buried in the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.
