Why Toni Collette passed on ’Bridget Jones’s Diary,’ plus more on her fab career

“The Estate“ star Toni Collette was delivering pizzas when she landed the lead in “Muriel’s Wedding,“ the 1994 sleeper hit rom-com sensation that turned her into an international star. “It completely changed my life,” the now-50-year-old performer says of her eponymous role as the socially awkward, ABBA-loving video store clerk who dreams of getting hitched. “It opened up so many doors and gave me so many amazing opportunities. It made me feel like I could really do this. I never thought that I would have a career. I just thought that it was a one-off, to be honest.” Collette shares tales from her eclectic career in this new “Role Recall“ interview.
