Toni Collette Moves into Tara
You've seen Toni
Collette play everything from an ABBA obsessive to a mom whose kid talks
to dead people, but the Aussie actress is about to play a whole lot of
new characters - all in one TV series.
Showtime has announced that Collette will star in The United States
of Tara,
 based on an idea by Steven Spielberg, about an
ordinary-seeming wife and mother of two who copes with life's stresses
via multiple personalities.
These
alter egos include a promiscuous teen, a picture-perfect housekeeper,
and even an aggressive male biker.
The pilot, which shoots in 2008, was written by Diablo Cody, the
screenwriter behind this winter's much-buzzed-about comedy Juno.
And if any actress can convince us there's a menacing guy lurking inside
a regular gal, it's Toni Collette.
