Toni Collette gives birth to daughter
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - January 11, 2008 The Sydney-born actress and her husband, musician Dave
Galafassi, welcomed Sage Florence Galafassi into the world
Wednesday, a spokeswoman told the Australian Associated Press.
"Both mother and baby are very well and very happy," the
spokeswoman was quoted as saying.
Collette, 35, was nominated for a best supporting-actress Oscar
for her role in 1999's "The Sixth Sense." Her screen credits also
include "Little Miss Sunshine," "The Night Listener" and
"Muriel's Wedding."
She announced her pregnancy in July, saying she had recently
been leaning toward motherhood roles.
"It is strange the last three films I've done I have been
pregnant," Collette said at the time. "I'm just like, `What is
the universe trying to tell me?' But I think everything happens
when it's meant to."
