Ignoring a fan - removed

The following passage appears in the article: "Collette was witnessed ignoring a handicapped fan after a performance of this show. When a friend of the wheelchair-bound man approached Miss Collette for an autograph for his friend, she glanced over at the man in the chair and turned away, ignoring him. At the time, there were a mere 5 people waiting, so she was not imposed upon. The fan had flown in specifically to see the show and attempt to meet Miss Collette."

There are no sources cited for this, and is decidedly not NPOV. I don't know if it happened or not, but such a claim should be backed up, as it gets rather close to defamation of Ms Collette's character. I'm removing it, but if someone can source it, perhaps it could be reinstated at a later date. --HillbillyProfane (talk) 20:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She's allowed to ignore any fan she pleases, surely? Piano non troppo (talk) 07:29, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose so, but that's not really the point. I removed it because it's biased and unsourced. I don't know whether it happened or not, but either way, is not really relevant to the artice. This isn't meant to be a dissertation on Collette's character. If it had been reported in the media, perhaps it might be relevant. Who knows what the circumstances were? Either way, it's not sourced, so I removed it.--HillbillyProfane (talk) 09:54, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace

Currently, the fact that Toni Collette was born in Blacktown is being "claimed" on the article Blacktown, New South Wales - which is about the suburb the CBD is in. I guess that Blacktown Hospital is in the CBD, but when Toni was born did her parents live in the City of Blacktown or the much smaller, more retail-oriented, suburb with the same name?

Thanks!--Ga rr ie 05:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Howard

Wasn't she also infamously quoted as saying that if John Howard wins the next (2004) election, she'll cut her wrists?

Film

Apparently shes in a new musical film starring as a secretary. She is starring alongside Natalie Gauci, Delta Goodrem and Missy Higgins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.109.89 (talk) 06:42, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason that her role in About a Boy as disorganised mother, co-starring with Hugh Grant and Nicholas Hoult, is not mentioned explicitly ? 91.125.101.119 (talk) 09:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"... thrillers such as Shaft..."

I think Shaft is not a thriller. Maybe "action/drama" will be better in this case? Thanks 193.28.155.226 (talk) 16:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace

Since when was Blacktown in Sydney's north-west? From someone born and raised in Blacktown, I can assure you it is not! It's probably the most central of the western suburbs, so that's why I've amended the text. Cattona (talk) 11:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Her name is not Antonia

"But Wikipedia also claims my real name is Antonia, which is absolutely not true." http://www.out.com/movies/2015/10/26/toni-collette-talks-skinny-dipping-gay-fandom --84.44.179.24 (talk) 11:10, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really Wikipedia's fault. So many so called "reliable sources" report her birth name as Antonia. Do a Google and Google Books search and you will see. I could never find a source before this where she actually confirmed whether her birth name is Antonia, so it's good that she has mentioned it. If it hasn't been removed already, then someone should remove it. On another note, her surname is actually Collett, and Collette is a stage name, and a lot of sources say her birth name is Antonia Collette. Melonkelon (talk) 04:42, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also posting this source that confirms that Collette is a stage name. Her birth name is Collett. "Mum is Judy Collett, who worked for a courier firm, while her dad, Bob, was a truck driver. Toni added back the extra "e" in Collette, which her grandfather had removed, because she decided, at age 14, that it sounded better as a stage name." This info should probably be incorporated into the article. Melonkelon (talk) 21:31, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
