I read somewhere that they kept Hailey Joel's line "every day" from Collette until the scene so her reaction was spontaneous. They were both really magic in that film, especially that scene.
Only 27 years old, and she embodied the best of every single, sad hardworking mother in that car scene my god she deserved an Oscar for that 5min scene alone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She wasn't even a mom yet either when she crushed that scene And don't forget about the scene where she finds Cole hysterical and is trying to get him to tell her what's wrong. Phenomenal actress in everything she has ever done!
She AND Haley Joel Osment should have OSCARS for those roles. One of the best movies of all time. Iconic! Her American/Philly accent was incredible in that movie. She never named the Marty movie she was hoping to get. An amazing story of how whatever she missed could never have been the break of a lifetime with a Top 10 movie of all time.
@@SevenEllen We knew Toni is an Aussie from her earlier movies here. Victorian here. Still amazes me how well Australian actors do the American accent very well. I loved the tv series The Mentalist. Had no idea Simon Baker was an Aussie, had to google what he was in here when young, one of those soapies I never watched lol.
I have loved Toni's work from the 1st time I seen her in Muriel's Wedding. It was after that film that I was not surprised at any of the great work she has done. Amazing talent.
Years ago, I saw her in a film called "Clockwatchers" as an office temp, along with Parker Posey and a few other actresses. She had the "cerebral" role, less showy and more introverted than the others. She was great! I've loved her ever since!
My personal opinion? She should have won the Oscar for this role. Also it's satisfying to see her wearing a vivid vermillion while talking about 'The Sixth Sense'
You must be younger and didn't see the movie when it was released, but later. Her breakout role was "Muriel's Wedding" which was an Australian movie, so when Sixth Sense came out most everyone knew she was Australian.
“Bringing Out the Dead” was the Scorsese film for which Toni Collette auditioned, and it was for the role played by Patricia Arquette (married at the time to the film’s leading actor, Nicolas Cage). While promoting “United States of Tara” season 2 circa spring 2010, Collette was interviewed by Dave Davies of “Fresh Air.” Below is her answer of how she became involved with “The Sixth Sense,” and below that is the length to the full interview. >> Ms. COLLETTE: I was in New York, and I was desperate to work with Martin Scorsese. I went to audition for a part in a film he was making called "Bringing Out the Dead," and whilst I was here, my agent sent me another script. And I didn't know much about it. He told me it was a new director, writer-director, and it was starring Bruce Willis. And no disrespect, but I just thought I don't want to do a movie like that. I just made an assumption about the kind of film it was going to be. So I put off reading the script, and one night I was, you know, I was a little bit jet-lagged. I was up late, staying in a friend's apartment, and I thought oh, hell. I'll pick it up. And I couldn't put it down. And I just thought it was absolutely brilliant, and we all know about the twist at the end now, but man, the way you feel when you're watching it, I felt that when I was reading it. It was just so intense and so beautiful. I thought it was this beautiful, spiritual tale. So, anyway, I went to meet Night, and I auditioned, and that's that. I get a message one day from my agent, and I call him back from a - this was before cell phones, so it was just a pay phone on the street. And I'd - he yelled on the phone: Toni, you've been offered. And I thought he was going to say, you know, the Scorsese film, and I screamed in the middle of the street. And he said hang on, hang on. Did you hear me? You've been offered "The Sixth Sense." And I was like oh, no. And I remember feeling disappointed. Even though I liked it, you know, Martin Scorsese, you know, is like the be all and end all. So I went back to my hotel room, and there were messages from Night, and he wanted to talk to me before I was flying back to Australia, and I was avoiding his phone calls. I was, like, oh, God. I don't want to commit to this one if the other one happens. The other one didn't happen. I ended up having an amazing experience on "The Sixth Sense." I loved making the movie. I loved working with everyone on that. I've got some great friends from that film, and there you have it.
This movie has an added layer of special for me because I also get messages from the other side. I don't see anyone and can't make it happen but it's mind blowing each and every time. It is a responsibility, not a blessing as one would think. It's very jarring for our bodies and trying to wrap my mind around how it could happen is still baffling every time. I'm an older gal so it's been most of my life. All that being said, this movie really opened up so many taboo subjects. Soo grateful for all of it.
Love Toni in everything, this movie, Muriel's wedding, so many performances - she was great in a Netflix show called Unbelievable, streamed through it during Covid - and thought it was underrated. Quiet series, so well done. She is so, so versatile!
Toni Collette is SO brilliant and versatile and willing to try any genre. I will never be able to watch Hereditary (far too scary for me), but I've seen the trailer and listened to many YT reviews of it.
@@lak1294 I haven't seen Heredity, either, but I did watch a clip where she's basically pouring everything in every square inch of her body out onto her son and her husband, and it's impossible to look away from her on the screen. The clip was about 5 minutes long, and I have never seen someone bear their entire soul in such a way. It was absolutely amazing.
She is certainly one of the reasons the movie did so well. So convincing as a good mom who is struggling to understand what is troubling her little boy. Great performances all around in that movie.
This is one of the best movies ever made! No movie ever shocked an audience more. Haley Joel Osment was one of the best child actors out there! No one could have played the role like he did, and everyone LOVES BRUCE WILLIS!!! A true classic!
Love that movie I'm from Philly and most of the places that I used to clean I used to clean apartment about the area that y'all were in taking yeah it's amazing amazing movie beautiful work thank you
Her look was perfect. I raised a son by myself, and that movie was earth shattering to me because those characters WERE me and my son. Sobbed uncontrollably. Never watched it again. Too tough.
Now I have to go check out the hair! Haven't seen that movie again since it first came out (though I did see it twice to see if I could see the twist).
one of the most underrated but secretly top 5 female actresses in the business.. going back to her role in Shaft she kills everything she’s in.. 2 game changers in Sixth Sense and Hereditary
Toni Collette was terrific in "The Sixth Sense" (really, anything I've ever seen her in). It's interesting they had her read with Bruce Willis when, as everyone who has seen the movie knows, she and he don't really interact at all. They're in the same scene, but there's no back and forth between them.
Toni is a personal favourite of mine. Amazes me that she doesn't get bigger work or... she might not want that kind of fame? Well, I ejouý her work tremendously and I hope she continues for a long time. One of my personal little favourites is Connie & Carla :)
I'm assuming the part in the Scorsese movie she was hoping for was Patricia Arquette's role in Bringing Out The Dead, since that's the only Scorsese movie that came out around the same time as The Sixth Sense.
I heard her accent in this video an thought, "She's doing a British accent for an interview?" And no, her American accents in movies are the acting part and I have to agree she is an incredible actress.
The Scorcese part would have been Patricia Arquette's role in Bringing Out The Dead, if the timeline matches up (both 1999 films). I think they went with the right actors for both parts. Although I love Toni and she's my all-time fav actor.
Stupid question: Did the ring fall off his finger cuz it was loose cuz he was dead? I never thought of that ‘til now. Dumb me. M Night Shalaman’s other movies don’t compare to The Sixth Sense.
@@anujpramanik1819 That's a great point. Now I have to watch the movie again to see if any scenes show him wearing a wedding ring he shouldn't be wearing.
@@debra2700 Cole while talking about the dead told Malcolm "They only see what they want to see." which is why Malcolm never checked his hand or why his basement study was always locked or the big ass blood spot on the back of his shirt.
@@anujpramanik1819 Great points or the fact that Cole was petrified the first time he saw Malcolm because it was just another dead person coming at him for something and Malcolm never figured that out either.

the scene in the car where he tells her he can see dead people,and tells her about her mom coming to see her dance..she crushed that scene so hard.
Why is everything hard with your generation? Feelings.
what,pray tell,generation do you think I'm from?
I read somewhere that they kept Hailey Joel's line "every day" from Collette until the scene so her reaction was spontaneous. They were both really magic in that film, especially that scene.
I just watched the car scene and sobbed my eyes out. She's great!
Indeed
Only 27 years old, and she embodied the best of every single, sad hardworking mother in that car scene my god she deserved an Oscar for that 5min scene alone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"Do I make her proud." Just that line alone....😢 Her and Haley both were just incredible.
Such truth. Facts.
I’ve loved everything she’s been in, brilliant actress
I first saw Toni in Muriel’s Wedding just before seeing her in The Sixth Sense. She is indeed a very special actress.
She's one of those actors who's so real and immersed, you forget she's even an actor. She just _is_ Cole's mom, your brain doesn't even question it.
Night Listener
@@Cobrakai68 haven’t heard of this one, will check it out. Thank you
Underrated actor. I wonder if she knows she’s simply one of the best of all time.
Actress*
Actor is gender neutral
@@Jedicake so is mankind but people kick up a fuss about that for whatever reason
@@luigi59969 indeed
We say “actress” to reinforce her gender. More visibility to “female actors”.
Toni's performance in "Hereditary" is one of the greatest portrayals of grief in all of cinema.
Agreed. I honestly hated the movie... but Toni made it watchable.
Hereditary is good for treating insomnia
She AND Haley Joel Osment should have OSCARS for those roles. One of the best movies of all time. Iconic! Her American/Philly accent was incredible in that movie. She never named the Marty movie she was hoping to get. An amazing story of how whatever she missed could never have been the break of a lifetime with a Top 10 movie of all time.
How did Bruce Willis not even get nominated?!!!?
How Toni Collette has never won an Oscar is beyond me.
She is SO NATURAL!
She does have an Emmy, though.
@@demh7823 True but I think the ultimate prize for any actor/actress is winning "Uncle Oscar".
@@dragonfly6908 Depends on how superficial the actor is.
@@Hoganply I highly doubt that is true although winning an Oscar can be the kiss of death for a career, Charlize Theron anyone?.
I literally had no idea she wasn’t American. I’m stunned lol. That makes her performance in The Sixth Sense even more impressive 🤯
Yes me neither
She's Australian.
@@SevenEllen
We knew Toni is an Aussie from her earlier movies here. Victorian here.
Still amazes me how well Australian actors do the American accent very well. I loved the tv series The Mentalist. Had no idea Simon Baker was an Aussie, had to google what he was in here when young, one of those soapies I never watched lol.
Saaaaame!!!
I knew she was Australian but yeah her American accent is very convincing
Her "Look at my face!" Lines are probably the most memorable to me of that movie. Delivered so real and believably.
She is one of the greatest actors working today. She’s been great in everything, no matter the size of the role.
I have loved Toni's work from the 1st time I seen her in Muriel's Wedding. It was after that film that I was not surprised at any of the great work she has done. Amazing talent.
First saw her in Muriel’s Wedding. She’s excellent every time, every role.
Muriel’s wedding was fantastic!
Me too, and I never forgot her after that. Amazing performance!
Same! and 100% she is incredible in every. single. role.
Edit: "The United States of Tara" is a masterclass in acting.
I watched both Emma & The 6th Sense mainly because of Toni.
Edit: And Little Miss Sunshine
How her performance never won an Oscar is beyond me,? the car scene when she hears her mom saw her dance I was sobbing my heart out.
Especially her first reaction to "She saw you dance" 🤣
Years ago, I saw her in a film called "Clockwatchers" as an office temp, along with Parker Posey and a few other actresses. She had the "cerebral" role, less showy and more introverted than the others. She was great! I've loved her ever since!
I love that movie too! It’s an independent film so not a lot of people saw it, but it’s so good.
EVERY. SINGLE. PERFORMANCE. SHE IS AMAZING AND PUTS IN HER ALL AND ITS SO NATURAL.
Lower the caps and don't be so rude.
💯
Sixth sense, Little Miss Sunshine and About a Boy. Only ones I’ve seen and she’s awesome in all 3
Run, don't walk to go watch Hereditary right now!
Muriel’s Wedding is actually her biggest role and the one that made her famous 😊
She is amazing also in "Japanese Story" , a little Aussie indie- so, so good.
God I love Toni Collette. I just came from the car scene from The Sixth Sense. Her emotions and believable portrayal of grief is unmatched.
the car scene always makes me cry. it just feels so real and it’s so incredibly relatable.
I'm tearing up just thinking about that scene.
One of the best actresses of our time, if not all time
My personal opinion? She should have won the Oscar for this role.
Also it's satisfying to see her wearing a vivid vermillion while talking about 'The Sixth Sense'
She was absolutely incredible in that role. Matriarchal, vulnerable, hopeful, powerful, forgiving. Just amazing.
"Matriarchal" is not the word you're looking for. Maybe maternal.
I love the way she talks about her work - it’s very respectful of the craft, but not performative like some actors who make out it’s more than it is.
😆 🤣 😂
That Australian accent! Who would have thought?? She’s an amazing actress indeed! 😅
You must be younger and didn't see the movie when it was released, but later.
Her breakout role was "Muriel's Wedding" which was an Australian movie, so when Sixth Sense came out most everyone knew she was Australian.

Loved her since COSI with Ben Mendelson. They were so young.
Watch "The hours"... 5 minutes and she steals the movie. UNBELIEVABLE❤❤❤

I don’t know why, but Toni Collette has always been the hottest woman on the planet to me… 🔥😍
Toni is a brilliant actor
Collette did an amazing job in the Sixth Sense. Was she nominated for any of the major acting awards for that performance?
one of the most underrated but secretly top 5 female actresses in the business.. going back to her role in Shaft she kills everything she’s in.. 2 game changers in Sixth Sense and Hereditary
I want her to act opposite Joan Cusack in something. They are my favourites!
Good call
Our dear Muriel!!!! 💕
Muriel is what I MOST remember her for from back in that late 90's/early 2000's time period.
Happy to hear she loved Philadelphia....Yea Philly...
"You're terrible Muriel" 😂❤
She was so good in the Sixth Sense!!
She was very fortunate and ended up making history
Sixth Sense got her her first and only Oscar nomination so far

Whoa! You just blew my mind. I love Osage County and think Julia did an incredible job but you're right Toni would have been incredible.
@@JC11378 Absolutely! She would have been amazing
She is so talented, but she was also hot as heck in that movie. She should dye her hair that reddish brown.

@@DylansPenthat’s an Australian accent
@@jam357 Fair enough.
Aussies do seem to be unusually good at accents.

Is she the same woman from Hereditary?
yes.
Looking great too.

Random Trivia fact, Donny Wahlberg was the young man in his underwear. He did a phenomenal job.
The Scorcese part would have been Patricia Arquette's role in Bringing Out The Dead, if the timeline matches up (both 1999 films). I think they went with the right actors for both parts. Although I love Toni and she's my all-time fav actor.
Honestly she may well be my most favorite actor. Never seen her be bad in anything.
I wonder what the Scorsese part was ?
My favorite performance of hers will always be Connie and Carla, hands down!
Her role In Hereditary 🎉❤
❤Toni❤
The horror of her grief in the film Hereditary haunts me; the way she screams like an animal.
I've watched this movie about 5 times. I never recognized Toni Collette. Am I this clueless? Naw, she's that good.
Such a great actress. She got snubbed Gor nest actress on Hereditary
If you haven't seen the movie mental, you should.
She's like Meryl Streep, I'll watch anything either of them are in because you know its going to be good
❤️ Toni!
Wow that's interesting that she described it as a drama. It's a horror/suspense
Downloaded it yesterday and balled my eyes out towards the end. Amazing movie. Wanted it to last for 2 more hours
It still angers me she was snubbed for Hereditary
Saw a movie called unlocked she was in few years ago ver good
I still never have seen "The Sixth Sense", I don't know how that happened, ha.
Lucky you can see it for the first time then. One of the greatest ever...
Collette: _I was totally blown away by_
>spoiler alert<
_Bruce Willis being DEAD all along!_
_Amazeballs, eh?_
lol
love me some toni!
Rare breed and not just for an actor: she actually stops talking. Wow.
