Toni Collette

Antonia "Toni" Collette (born 1 November 1972) is an Australian actress and musician, known for her acting work on stage, television and film as well as a secondary career as the lead singer of the band Toni Collette & the Finish.

Collette's acting career began in the early 1990s with comedic roles in films such as Spotswood (1992) and Muriel's Wedding (1994), for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Following her performances in Emma (1996) and The Boys (1998), Colette achieved international recognition as a result of her Academy Award-nominated portrayal of Lynn Sear in The Sixth Sense (1999). She has since established herself as the second best-known and highest-paid Australian actress in Hollywood (after Nicole Kidman), who has had her biggest commercial successes with thrillers such as Shaft (2000) and Changing Lanes (2001) and independent comedy films like About a Boy (2002) for which she received a BAFTA nomination, In Her Shoes (2005) and Little Miss Sunshine (2006). Her performance(s) on Showtime's United States of Tara has won her the Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
