Not only is she gorgeous, but she's a veritable cameleon on screen. She can encompass so many emotional states, can take on so many roles, that she is far more captivating than many give her credit for.
Not surpisingly, Toni will tackle MPD in her new Diablo Cody / Showtime series: The United States Of Tara
The 36-year-old Aussie might be rational and no-frills, but her Tara character is anything but. She's a wife and mother of teenagers. And she has dissociative identity disorder; when she gets stressed, she changes personalities. In the first few episodes, viewers see three alternate personalities: Alice (a perfect homemaker), Buck (a motorcycle-loving male) and T (a rebellious teen).
It's Collette's first TV role, and before Tara, she'd never really given small-screen work much thought.
"I started out in theater and moved into film," she says. "Most television programs make you have to live in L.A., and I didn't want to do that. It's a massive thing to move away from your friends and family and drag your own family halfway across the world."
But because Tara is a pay-cable show limited to 13 episodes, her family had to relocate from Australia for only a few months. She and husband Dave Galafassi have a daughter, Sage Florence, who just turned 1, and a band, Toni Collette & The Finish. (She's the singer/songwriter, and he plays drums.)
