Production stills and promotional stills from the second season of “United States of Tara” have been updated, with many new additions and better quality replacements. The second season not only brought us a memorable Tornado episode, but also the wonderful Viola Davis in a guest appearance arch. If you’re planning on rewatching Tara (it’s available on a variety of streaming platforms, depending on where you live) or want to revisit your favorite episode, check out the site’s episode guide for all three seasons with synopsis, recaps and screencaptures. Updates on season 3 will follow next.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show is publishing interviews from the show’s beginnings. Among the early guests has been Toni Collette, who was in Los Angeles to promote the theatrical release of “Japanese Story” and garner some last-minute Oscar buzz for the film. The interview itself is very generic with the two questions alwa Did she have to gain a lot of weight for “Muriel’s Wedding” (yes) and did she fake appendicitis as child (yes). Still, it’s nice to see this interview for the first time – and be reminded how fast 20 years fly by. Enjoy the video segment and screencaptures.

“United States of Tara” remains one of Toni’s greatest projects and – altough it was cancelled too soon – includes three pitch-perfect seasons. Time to upgrade the galleries for the Shwotime series. All production stills have been sorted in order of the episodes and over 50 additional production stills have been added as well, alongside some new on-set pictures and key art. If you’re planning on rewatching Tara (it’s available on a variety of streaming platforms, depending on where you live) or want to revisit your favorite episode, check out the site’s episode guide for all three seasons with synopsis, screencaptures and recaps. Updates on season 2 will follow next week.

Here comes another great addition to Toni’s theatre archives: The poster and programme for The Sydney Theatre Company’s 1990 production of “A Little Night Music”, alongside a new production still with Toni and Michael Beckley, all courtesy the actor’s website. As many earlier sources, the programme’s CV states an appearance by Toni on the Australian series “G.P.”, although I’ve never been able to track any more information on this. Additionally, there’s an audio clip on Youtube of Toni singing “The Miller’s Son” in the musical. Enjoy.

With not much happening right now, I went through the archives and dug up a couple of production stills from Toni’s feature film and television work that haven’t been added to the gallery. For a complete overview, have a look at the list below. Enjoy the new addtions.

Toni Collette’s motion picture debut, the Mark Joffe directed “Spotswood” from 1992, has been recently released on Blu-Ray. If you’re looking for the perfect Australian time capsule, this one’s for you. Thrown in the mix with baby-faced Ben Mendelsohn and Russell Crowe, Toni’s performance as small-town Wendy earned her a first AFI nomination, let alone a prominent spot next to Anthony Hopkins, who ventured to Australia only known to film buffs and fans of the British theatre – and wrapped it weeks before receiving an Academy Award for the performance of a lifetime – as Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs”. Screencaptures from the Blu-Ray have been added to the photo gallery. Since not all of Toni’s scenes have been transfered to the American version (titled “The Efficiency Expert”), those screencaptures have been kept in the gallery as deleted scenes. Enjoy.
