The Many Faces of Toni Collette
This week, Hector and the Search for Happiness gets its wide release, and that is as good a reason as any to turn the spotlight on one of its stars: Toni Collette.
While she has played plenty of pretty (or even beautiful) women in her career, her big breakthrough came about through a stunning and very funny performance as an "ugly duckling." Ever since, she can be found across all genres, in all sorts of roles, often disappearing completely into her characters. Without a doubt, Toni Collette is one of the most reliable actresses on the planet, as she is consistently great even when given bad material. She's never, ever the weakest link in a production, and always worth watching.
Therefore, once again I'm going to use a gallery of eight pictures of one of my favorite thespians to make a quiz, so click through the images and guess which movies they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb.
And I'll post the answers on Thursday, unless they've all been identified already!
