Toni Collette stars in Netflix’s latest bingeable drama “Pieces of Her” — meet the rest of the actors and their wild characters.
Netflix’s newest bingeable mystery is here. “Pieces of Her” stars Toni Collette as Laura, a small-town woman recovering from a bout of illness with the help of her adult daughter, Andy (Bella Heathcote). With the edges of their already fraught relationship worn thin by the wearying toll of Laura’s treatment, the mother-daughter duo finds their lives thrown into complete upheaval after a random shooting — and the media attention that follows — puts them in the spotlight, exposing them to deadly figures from Laura’s past… a past that Andy knows nothing about. As usual, Netflix has filled out their ensemble with familiar faces, up-and-comers and new discoveries so we’ve put together a handy (and spoiler-free) guide to the cast and characters of “Pieces of Her” to help you keep up with every twist and turn. Who is Laura Oliver? That question is the mystery at the heart of “Pieces of Her.” An accomplished speech therapist living in Belle Isle with her daughter Andy, Laura’s dark and mysterious past catches up with her after a random act of violence turns her into a nationwide story. Who plays Laura Oliver? That’s a much easier question to answer: “Hereditary” and “The Sixth Sense” actor Toni Collette stars as Laura, the lynchpin of the twisting, turning mysteries in “Pieces of Her.” The Oscar-nominated Australian actress has worked with Netflix on several projects, including the critically celebrated 2019 series “Unbelievable” and the 2021 sci-fi drama “Stowaway.” Collette was most recently seen in Guillermo Del Toro’s Best Picture contender “Nightmare Alley” and next up, she stars in HBO Max’s true crime limited series “The Staircase” about the Michael Peterson murder trial. Andy Oliver, Laura’s daughter, begins “Pieces of Her” adrift in life after a failed stint as an artist, having moved back home to care for her ailing mother. Andy gets the shock of her life when she discovers the woman who raised her had a whole life she never knew about.
