Toni Collette is an Academy Award-nominated Australian actress, best known for her roles in The Sixth Sense (1999) and Little Miss Sunshine (2006).
Collette was born Toni Collett (she later added an "e") on November 1, 1972, in Blacktown, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. She is the first of three children of Judith (Cook), a customer service representative, and Bob Collett, a truck driver. From age six, she was brought up in suburban Sydney. At the age of eleven, she showed her phenomenal acting skills when she faked appendicitis out of boredom and longing for attention; her act was so convincing that doctors had to remove her appendix, even though the test showed nothing was wrong with it.
At 16, she left school and enrolled in the National Institute of Dramatic
Arts (NIDA). At that time, she was a struggling actress, supporting herself by delivering pizzas. After 18 months of studies, she left NIDA for her feature film debut as "Wendy Robinson", opposite Russell Crowe and
Anthony Hopkins, in The Efficiency Expert (1991), and earned herself a nomination for Best Supporting Actress from the Australian Film Institute. Collette made her stage debut with the Sydney Theatre Company, as "Sonya" in Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya", a performance that won her a critic's circle award as Best Newcomer. She also appeared in stage productions at the Belvoir Street Theatre, under directorship of Geoffrey Rush. In 1994, she won the Australian Best Actress in a Lead Role for her work in Muriel's Wedding (1994), for which she had to gain 40 pounds in seven weeks.
In 1995, Toni Collette came to Hollywood with a supporting role in
The Pallbearer (1996), then had a string of supporting roles. Her first lead as "Diana Spencer", an Australian woman who shares the name and birthday of Princess Diana, in the comedy, Diana & Me (1997), was obscured by the real Diana's death, which practically occurred at the same time when the movie was released. Her breakthrough came with the role as "Lynn Sear" in The Sixth Sense (1999), for which she quite rightly won an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Her latest memorable role as "Sheryl", a beaten-down but loving mother, in Little Miss Sunshine (2006), is also a fine ensemble work with Abigail Breslin, Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Paul Dano, and Alan Arkin.
Since 2003, Toni Collette has been married to musician Dave Galafassi,
with whom she recorded her singing and songwriting debut album, titled
"Beautiful Awkward Pictures", in 2006. She co-owns an independent
production company in Australia, and also continues her music career as
a singer. Toni resides with her husband in Sydney, Australia, and owns a second home in Ireland.- Actor

One tough cookie who can definitely hold her own next to the boys on
film and TV, lovely, dark-haired Rachel Ticotin has stepped up to the
plate many times in strong-armed femme roles, playing everything from
cops and bodyguards to military corporals.
Born on November 1, 1958, and raised in the Bronx, Rachel is of Puerto Rican, Russian-Jewish descent and learned the fine art of discipline at a young age with ballet training at age 8. She made her first stage appearance at age 10
as a Siamese princess in a production of "The King and I" at NYC's City
Center Theatre. At age twelve she joined the Ballet Hispanico of New
York and went on to work with such famed choreographers as Alvin Ailey,
Geoffrey Holder and Anna Sokolow.
Rachel made her film debut at age 20 in a bit role as
a gypsy dancer in the King of the Gypsies (1978) starring Eric Roberts. She gained valuable
experience in off-Broadway shows and on the other side of the camera as
a production assistant for such films as The Wanderers (1979), Dressed to Kill (1980) and Raging Bull (1980).
Rachel earned her big break after being handed the top female role
opposite Paul Newman and Edward Asner in the brutal police film Fort Apache the Bronx (1981).
Television became a viable forum with the TV pilot For Love and Honor (1983) as Corporal
Grace Pavlik. The pilot introduced her to up-and-coming actor David Caruso.
They married later that year. Rachel went on to appear in the
short-lived series version of For Love and Honor (1983) without Caruso. Other television
projects included assertive roles in Prison Stories: Women on the Inside (1991), Aftershock: Earthquake in New York (1999) and Warden of Red Rock (2001). On
the big screen she played tough in Critical Condition (1987), Where the Day Takes You (1992), and Falling Down (1993).
Her best known role is probably the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi blockbuster Total Recall (1990)
in which the athletic Rachel has a memorable fisticuffs scene with
Sharon Stone. In 1997, Rachel earned an ALMA award for her role as a prison
guard in Con Air (1997). Divorced from Caruso after six years in 1989, she
later met actor Peter Strauss on the set of the TV movie Thicker Than Blood: The Larry McLinden Story (1994). They
married in 1998. In series drama she joined the cast of Ohara (1987) as a
U.S. attorney and played detective in the police drama Crime & Punishment (1993).
A proven talent who is as alluring as she is enduring, Rachel's work has included the
popular films Something's Gotta Give (2003) starring Jack Nicholson and Oscar-nominated Diane Keaton,
Man on Fire (2004) with Denzel Washington, as well as the recent The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) and its sequel The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008). She also was part of the critically acclaimed bi-cultural series American Family (2002).
Although gracing such recent films as horror opus The Eye (2008), the romantic crimer The Burning Plain (2008) and the dramatic thriller América (2011), Rachel has focused on TV as of late with guest roles on the revamped "The Outer Limits," as well as "Lost," "Law & Order: LA," "NCIS: Los Angeles," "Homeland," "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Act."- Actor

Tisca is known for carefully choosing to be part of stories that needed to be brought to the people. With the burning desire to act, every endeavor of hers has been respected and applauded. Tisca has acted in over 50 feature films in different languages with many eminent directors like Aamir Khan, Prakash Jha, Sudhir Mishra, Abhinay Deo and others.
As someone who's always refused to settle for the mediocre, Tisca's persistence and passion not only won her acclaim and fame, but also two Filmfare Awards for a film she wrote, produced and starred in, called "Chutney". Taare Zameen Par, one of her sterling performances, was Indian cinema's official entry to the League of Academy Awards. Another film where Tisca played a refugee, "Qissa", premiered at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) in 2013 and was featured in over 20 festivals.
Tisca was nominated at the New York Indian Film Festival in the Best Actress category for her work in '10Ml Love', a film based on "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Her intense performance in the Indian adaptation of the American series "24" was much lauded and made her a household name. "Hostages", her debut on the web, proved to be a runaway hit, endearing her even more to the audiences. "Good Newwz", where she played a key role as a doctor, was also one of the biggest hits of 2020.
Tisca also starred in the Pulitzer-winning play "Dinner with Friends", which deals with the state of the modern marriage. She's been on the jury of the prestigious MAMI Film Festival. Adding another feather to her illustrious hat, Tisca herself created a path to showcase the idea of rising above barriers through filmmaking. Each of her short films have been about breaking barriers: "Chutney" breaks the 'thought barriers' where youth and beauty are prime parameters of how women are perceived; "Chhuri" breaks barriers about preconceived notions of what an Indian housewife should be like; "Socha Na Tha", was a film made at the time when everyone was getting depressed and didn't know how to go about filming (Tisca created this last film by breaking barriers, directing it over the phone and creating it when everyone was in lockdown); "Rubaru", a short that she co-wrote, directed, acted in and produced, was set for release in November 2020.
Beyond her acting career, Tisca has worked with Sam Pitroda on the National Knowledge Commission, to help revamp the Education system. She works consistently with NGOs and small business to give a leg up to entrepreneurs. She authored a book called 'Acting Smart', which talks about the ingredients needed to make a successful career as an actor.- Actor

Born on November 1, 1942, the eldest of three born to an Iowa general storeowner, Marcia Wallace endured a troubled childhood (alcoholism, physical abuse). Performing in high school plays as a teenager, she studied at Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, where she majored in English and theatre.
Marcia initially induced laughs because of a weight problem, playing plump, self-deprecating characters in such musicals as "The Music Man". She
also supplemented her very modest income at the time, substitute teaching in the Bronx. Managing to drop much of her excess weight over time, she found, to her delight, that she could still make people laugh. Finding an invaluable training ground with the improvisational comedy group, "The Fourth Wall", in 1968, she appeared with the company off-Broadway for a spell. In between times, she studied with acting guru Uta Hagen.
Marcia began to flesh out her on-camera resume at first with bit roles on such shows as "The Invaders" (as a courtroom spectator), "Bewitched" (as Darrin's secretary), "The Brady Bunch" (as a saleswoman), she earned her first on-camera break with recurring appearances on The Merv Griffin Show (1962).
As a direct result, she won the best role of her career as "Carol Kester", the chatty receptionist on The Bob Newhart Show (1972) after only a year or so in Hollywood. For seven years, Marcia won tons of fans as the slightly ditsy co-worker and confidante who was always looking for that "special guy" to walk through the door.
During that time and after, she guested and added fun to many popular lightweight 70's and 80's shows of the day, including "Love, American Style," "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," "CHiPS," "Magnium, P.I.," "Gimme a Break," "Finder of Lost Loves," "Murder, She Wrote," "Alf," "Night Court,' "Small Wonder" and "Charles in Charge." She also decorated and perked up a few TV movies -- The Castaways on Gilligan's Island (1979), Gridlock (1980), Pray TV (1980) -- and the full length features a few films Teen Witch (1989), My Mom's a Werewolf (1989) and Ghoulies Go to College (1990). She went on the enjoy regular work in commercials for over three decades (Kraft a la Carte, Crest, Taster's Choice).
Following her TV success on the "The Newhart Show," Marcia kept visible as a recurring game show panelist on such shows as "The Match Game," "Password," "The $10,000 Pyramid" and "Hollywood Squares." On the summer stock and dinner theater circuits, Marcia found engaging work in such comedies as "Plaza Suite," "Born Yesterday," "The Prisoner of Second Avenue," "The Sunshine Boys," and "Last of the Red Hot Lovers," as well as the musicals "Gypsy" and "Promises, Promises."
In 1985, Marcia was diagnosed with breast cancer. She eventually became an activist and lecturer on breast cancer awareness, educating the public about early detection. She was also the prime caretaker for her husband, hotelier Denny Hawley, when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He passed away in 1992. They adopted one child, Michael.
Marcia's career would gain a second career wind in voiceovers. Today's generations will recognize her Emmy-winning voice-work as Bart's teacher, "Mrs. Edna Krabappel" on the long-running animated series The Simpsons (1989). Her voice was also utilized on such animated projects as "Darkwing Duck," "Raw Toonage," "Camp Candy," "Batman: The Animated Series," "Aladdin," "Cow and Chicken," "The Angry Beavers" and Rugrats" as well as providing several voices for the animated film Monsters University (2013).
She has guest-hosted televised comedy clubs and talk shows, and was the actual co-host of a diet show on cable. Marcia remained on the lecture
circuit and published her own 2004 memoir (Don't Look Back, We're Not Going That Way!) which gently and admirably laces her myriad of
struggles with wit, humor and a positive outlook.
Into the millennium, she was seen as Maggie the housekeeper on the short-lived, irreverent TV series spoof That's My Bush! (2001) starring Timothy Bottoms. In 2009, she was seen as Annie Wilkes on the daytime soaper The Young and the Restless (1973). A few scattered films appeared on the horizon, including the comedies Forever for Now (2004), Big Stan (2007) and Tru Loved (2008).
Marcia's lengthy battle with illness ended on October 25, 2013, when the 70-year-old actress died of breast cancer complications (pneumonia and sepsis).- Actress

her to San Diego, where her father worked in aircraft manufacture and
her mother encouraged Jo's acting aspirations. Entering a "Be a Star"
contest which Morrow feels started out as a sham, she actually won a
20th Century-Fox contract (film-debuting in Gary Cooper's Ten North Frederick (1958)), and
from there moved to Columbia. The 1964 birth of a deaf daughter forced
Morrow to choose between movies and motherhood; the latter won out,

Barbara Bosson, who earned an
Emmy Award nomination for her performance on
Murder One (1995), was raised in
Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, a small coal-mining town about 30 miles
south of Pittsburgh. When she was a teenager, she and her family moved
to Florida, where she attended Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport.
After graduation, she was accepted into the Drama Department of
Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh (now Carnegie Mellon). When Bosson learned
the tuition would be too great a burden on her parents, she instead
moved to New York. She supported herself in a variety of jobs --
secretary, television production assistant, Playboy Bunny, etc. --
while studying acting with
Milton Katselas and
Herbert Berghof, and musical comedy with
Word Baker. Six years later, Bosson reevaluated her prospects while
working as a secretary for ACT (the American Conservatory Theater). She
spoke frequently with various drama department heads, including Earl
Gister, head of Carnegie Tech's Drama Department. Deciding it wasn't
too late to pursue her dream, she asked Gister for an audition. He
agreed. Bosson can't remember her audition, but it convinced Gister to
place her in the school and to assist her in finding scholarship money.
So, at 26, she became Carnegie Tech's oldest freshman. While attending
Carnegie Tech, Bosson met her future husband,
Steven Bochco (whom she would not marry
until years later), and fellow
Hill Street Blues (1981)
stars Bruce Weitz and
Charles Haid. On a summer break from
Carnegie Tech, she landed a job in San Francisco with the
improvisational group, "The Committee". With Gister's blessing, she
stayed with the group and performed with them for three years. Bosson
is a five-time Emmy Award nominee for Best Supporting Actress in a
Dramatic Series for her portrayal of "Fay Furillo" in the Emmy
Award-winning series,
Hill Street Blues (1981).
An innovative cook, Bosson raises her own herbs and vegetables. She
enjoys skiing, doing crossword puzzles and dancing. Bosson also hates

Jeff Richards, born Richard Mansfield Taylor in Portland, Oregon, was a graduate of Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington. Upon graduation he was ready to embark on a career in professional baseball when he entered the Navy in June of 1943. During World War II, he served as a radio technician until his discharge in 1946.
After the war, he returned to baseball and immediately signed on with the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League. The Beavers farmed Jeff to the Salem Senators, but fate intervened and a torn ligament forced him into an extended leave-of-absence from the sport.
While recuperating, Jeff decided to try his hand at acting. During the war, he and a group of his fellow servicemen visited Paramount Movie Studios. While there a talent scout spotted Jeff in the crowd, called him aside, and told him to come and see him when he got his discharge.
The agent remembered him and setup a screen test. Jeff was signed to a contract, but was not given any work.
After his time with Paramount, he was offered a contract by Warner Brothers Studios. In the meantime, however, Jeff was still playing baseball and also receiving offers from both the New York Yankees and the Dodgers, then still playing in Brooklyn. So Jeff had the chance to make a choice that many American boys dreamed of making--whether to be movie star or a
professional baseball player.
Jeff signed with the contract with Warners and then enrolled at the University of Southern California to pursue a degree in business administration. Jeff attended USC on a full-time schedule and also joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Jeff organized a chapter five-piece
band and played fraternity dances and club socials. He was still playing baseball, but his decision had been made--he was going to be an actor. Warners began using him in small, uncredited roles in such films as The Girl from Jones Beach, filmed in mid-1948, but not released until a year later, in mid-1949. In it he appears, with another young hopeful, Dale Robertson, as a pair of lifeguards, showing off their physiques wearing only minimal swimming attire in the Jones Beach sequence. Robertson's hairy chest was left intact, but Richards' trademark torso was forced to undergo complete waxing before he could appear in front of the cameras. On loan-out to Columbia he actually got to play baseball on screen in the William Bendix comedy Kill the Umpire (1950).
Next signing with MGM, Jeff was a member of MGM's Lucky Dozen--a group of young and upcoming stars of the 1950s. He was groomed for the rugged, John Wayne-type roles and the two actors has much in common-both were big men, athletically inclined, had similar
personalities, and they were both members of Sigma Chi.
During the course of his film career, Jeff acted in over 40 films, playing with some of the biggest stars of the 1950s and 1960s. His most significant role was a one of the Pontipee brothers in MGM's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), co-starring Jane Powell and Howard Keel. He poured on the sex appeal as Buck Winston, the object of interest of just about every female member of the cast of the re-make of The Women (1939), now re-titled The Opposite Sex (1956). After leaving MGM, for two seasons, he successfully played the title role for 28 episodes of the TV series Jefferson Drum (1958). After retiring from acting in 1960, he returned to the big screen one last time as Kallen in Waco (1966), perhaps as a favor to or from his old friend from MGM, the star of the film, Howard Keel.
