Toni Collette seems to be a rare creature: a born actress. At age 11 she faked appendicitis so convincingly that doctors operated on her, even though all medical tests showed there was nothing wrong. She has a face that easily conveys emotion to the audience and the instinctive ability to portray a character so completely that few people actually know what Toni looks like in real life. (Much more beautiful than in front of the camera, is the general verdict). Born and raised in working class Blacktown, Sydney, she dropped out of the National Institute of the Dramatic Arts to work in film and theatre. At 21 she stole our hearts playing the plump, naive, ABBA-loving Muriel Heslop of Porpoise Spit in PJ Hogan's cult film Muriel's Wedding, and was then catapulted into the world of Hollywood, Broadway, fame, wealth, awards and celebrity. She went on to star in films such as The Sixth Sense, About a Boy and Little Miss Sunshine, and since 2009 has played the lead role in the Spielberg-produced television show The United States of Tara. In 2002, he met Dave Galafassi, the drummer for Sydney indie band Gelbison, at a barbecue. She describes him as "balanced, patient and beautiful" and says she knew immediately that he was "the one". In January 2003, Toni and Dave married at her country home on the south coast in Broughton. They held a Buddhist ceremony that lasted an entire weekend and featured dancing monks, vegetarian feasts and a fireworks display. Their first daughter, Sage Florence, was born in Sydney on 9 January 2008. When she announced her pregnancy the previous July, she remarked: "It's strange that in the last three films I've done [my character] has been pregnant .I wonder, what the universe is feeling... middle of paper... a name that's doing well right now, and undoubtedly climbing the charts just as Toni Collette manages to be the celebrity she could be like you, he gained further esteem by choosing a baby name that is just what everyone else would have chosen I don't know if I'm as in love with the name Arlo as everyone else, I'm not a fan of either folk music or 24, and. I must confess I have a kinky side that quickly fades from names; met with universal acclaim However, I think it sounds great with the middle name Robert, it's a brilliant pairing with sister Sage and Arlo Galafassi is just wonderful As context is everything , I hereby give Arlo Robert Galafassi a thumbs up!
