Tony Collette was born on November 1, 1972. The only daughter in her family (except Tony, Bob and Judy Collette had two more sons), the girl probably felt a lack of attention, and once managed to stir up not only domestic: at 11 years old, the future actress so staged an attack of appendicitis that doctors operated on her, despite the complete lack of objective indicators of the disease.
Since then, Tony's talent has become apparent to everyone. The launch pad in the acting profession for Collette was the film “Spotswood”, but she really stated herself in the film. The Wedding of Muriel . Her heroine is an outcast, Mariel is not accepted in the society of successful peers: full, she does not fit into the "format", appears at someone else's wedding in a stolen dress, listens to ABBA records and dreams of changing everything. Once she succeeds, and now those who have offended Muriel are on the sidelines of life: she took over the circumstances. Tony was so persuasive in this role, in which, perhaps, there was a place for her personal motives, that in 1994 she was recognized as the best actress of the year in Australia and received the highest award in her country - the Cinema Institute of Australia award.
Hollywood recognized Tony Collette as the best five years after Muriel's Wedding, when in 1999 she played in the mystical thriller The Sixth Sense. For the role of the mother of a boy who sees the dead, Tony was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress. Brilliant is the role of Harriet Smith in the film “Emma”, after which the whole world spoke about Tony.

The family comedy "Little Miss Happiness" and the series "So Different Tara" raised the star status of the actress even higher - her skill is growing, and there is hope that one day she will become not only a nominee, but also an Oscar winner. /
