Here comes a great blast from the past. In September of 1999, Toni Collette – looking like the epitome of the late 1990’s – visited The Rosie O’Donnell Show to talk about the ongoing theatrical release of “The Sixth Sense”. The horror film was released in the Summer already and became one of the surprise hits of the year, ultimately earning 5 Academy Awards nominations, including one – shockingly, still the only one – for Collette. It’s a great trip down memory lane, so make sure to catch Toni’s appearance in the video archive. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

Toni Collette is featured in a new exclusive collector’s edition of Rolling Stone AU/NZ, in which they embark on a journey across the Southern Hemisphere to unveil the 50 most iconic Australian stars. As Kasumi Borczyk writes: With arguably the greatest emotional range in Hollywood, every role that Toni Collette touches turns to cinema magic. In her breakout role in Muriel’s Wedding, Toni Collette famously gained eighteen kilograms in seven weeks to play the part of social outcast Muriel Heslop in one of the campiest depictions of Bogan Australia to ever grace the silver screen. In the Sixth Sense, her first major Hollywood role, she plays the mother of Cole Sear in a psychologically-charged, award-winning performance. Then in The United States of Tara she plays a suburban housewife with dissociative identity disorder, acting multiple personas within the one character. Famous for her diverse filmography, her versatility and her willingness to push her acting towards the extreme ends of the emotional spectrum, she has continually moved audiences in genres as varied as horror to comedy to drama. The complete bit can be read over at Rolling Stone AU/NZ.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons has joined Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette in Juror No. 2, the legal thriller Clint Eastwood is directing for Warner Bros. Shooting is currently underway in Atlanta. In addition to Hoult and Collette, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Leslie Bibb, Chris Messina and Kiefer Sutherland are on the call sheet. Per the studio’s official logline, the script by Jonathan Abrams follows family man Justin Kemp (Hoult) who, while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma … one he could use to sway the jury verdict to potentially convict – or free – the wrong killer. Simmons will play one of the jurors. Collette is playing the prosecutor, Basso the accused, and Messina the public defender. Deutch is playing Hoult’s wife, while Sutherland is the lead’s AA sponsor. On top of directing, Eastwood is producing via his production company Malpaso. Tim Moore and Jessica Meier of Malpaso and Dichotomy’s Adam Goodman and Matt Skiena are also producing.

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.
