Collin Wilcox Paxton Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Actress Collin Wilcox extended her given name twice over the duration of her professional acting career -- billing herself as Collin Wilcox-Horne and Collin Wilcox Paxton, to be exact. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised in Highlands, North Carolina, and her interest in theater was sparked by her parents, Jack H. and Virginia Wilcox, who ...
I had known girls from that kind of background. [At the audition] all the other girls trying out for the part were overly made up; they had curly, clean hair and wore brassieres and high heels. I wore a secondhand dress, tennis shoes with holes in them, and dirty little white socks. I rubbed cold cream through my hair--and that's why my hair looked so dirty -- CWP, reflecting on her role as "Mayella" in the film To Kill a Mockingbird (1962).
Born in Cincinnati, she was raised in Highlands, North Carolina.

Collins' Instant Theatre Company produced her script "Papa's Angels" at The Highlands Studio for the Arts in December of 1987. The script went through years of extensive re-writes before it became a full length play. It won the "Best Play of the Year Award" at The Grand Olde Players Theatre in Omaha, Nebraska two years running before Samuel French, Inc. published the play. The book, which is based on the play, was published by New World Library. CBS optioned "Papa's Angels" for a television movie, Papa's Angels (2000), starring Scott Bakula and Cynthia Nixon, which aired in December of 2000.
