Toni Collette

Emmy and Golden Globe award winner Toni Collette made an indelible impression on Hollywood with her portrayal as the hopeless and desperate ‘Muriel Heslop’ in the 1994 film, “Muriel’s Wedding.” Proving her amazing ability to transform into the characters in which she plays, Collette has since starred in a variety of intriguingly diverse roles in both television and feature films throughout the last two decades. She was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in “The Sixth Sense” and won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for “Best Actress in a Comedy Series” for her performance in Showtime’s hit series “The United States of Tara.” Ms. Collette recently starred alongside Michael C. Hall, Tracy Letts, and Marisa Tomei on Broadway in “The Realistic Joneses,” a play written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Will Eno and directed by Sam Gold. Her upcoming films include “The Boxtralls" (September), "Hector and the Search for Happiness" (September), and “Glassland.” Ms. Collette is the Global Ambassador of Concern Worldwide, an organization working to tackle extreme poverty in 25 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Caribbean.
