Name: Jennifer Tilly
Date of Birth: 16 September 1958, Harbor City, California, USA
Birth Name: Jennifer Elizabeth Chan
Nickname: Jenny
Height
5' 6½" (1.69 m)
An actress who always attracts audiences' attention, Jennifer Tilly is by turns funny, sexy, compassionate, compelling and often all at once.
Her breakthrough movie role tapped into all of those qualities failing singer Blanche "Monica" Moran in Steve Kloves' The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) opposite brothers Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges. A few years later, Jennifer earned an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of the aspiring but hopelessly untalented actress Olive Neal in Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway (1994). She has become well-known to filmgoers for both major studio and independent films. In Tom Shadyac's blockbuster Liar Liar (1997) she kept pace with Jim Carrey. Her steamy performance opposite Gina Gershon helped make Lana Wachowski's and Andy Wachowski's Bound (1996) a breakout indie success at the Sundance Film Festival and then in theatrical release. It also expanded Jennifer's already significant gay and lesbian following.
She successfully cultivated another fan base with the revitalization of the "Child's Play" horror comedy franchise. For Ronny Yu's Bride of Chucky (1998), the filmmakers turned to Jennifer to create the character who would spark the series in a new direction. She met the challenge and established a new horror icon in Tiffany. This Halloween, in Rogue Pictures' all-new Seed of Chucky (2004), written and directed by series creator Don Mancini, Jennifer again takes the popular series to the next level; she stars as Tiffany and as herself, the deadly doll's favorite actress, who soon becomes an unwitting hostess in more ways than one.
Jennifer's pitch-perfect voiceover work as Tiffany is not the only instance of her being able to incarnate a character from the vocal chords out. Families know her distinctive cadences from the recent Disney hits Home on the Range (2004) (in which Jennifer voiced a new-age bovine), directed by Will Finn and John Sanford; The Haunted Mansion (2003) (in which Jennifer acted from the neck up only), directed by Rob Minkoff; and the Pixar blockbuster Monsters, Inc. (2001) (voicing Mike's love interest Celia), directed by Pete Docter, David Silverman and Lee Unkrich.
She began her acting career as a teenager, putting herself through the theater program at Stephens College in Missouri by winning writing competitions. She then headed to Los Angeles. While she continued to act on the stage (earning a Dramalogue Award for her performance in "Vanities"), movies and television immediately came calling for the actress with the unique voice and visage.
Over the years Jennifer has made memorable appearances on some of television's best series, including "Hill Street Blues" (1981) (in a recurring dramatic role), "Cheers" (1982), "Moonlighting" (1985), "It's Garry Shandling's Show." (1986) and "Frasier" (1993). In addition, she has been a favored guest on a number of talk shows, from "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1962) to "The Arsenio Hall Show" (1989) to (currently) "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (1992). Those interview segments have encouraged viewers to expect the unexpected from her interplay with the host and the studio audience.
Her many films over a two-decade span include Neil Jordan's High Spirits (1988), Oliver Stone's The Doors (1991), Richard Benjamin's Made in America (1993), Roger Donaldson's The Getaway (1994), Joe Pytka's Let It Ride (1989), P.J. Castellaneta's Relax... It's Just Sex (1998), Michael Radford's Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2000), Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow (2001) (in which she played Louella Parsons).
Jennifer has also continued to act on the stage. She won a Theater World Award for her performance in off-Broadway's "One Shoe Off" and starred on Broadway in the 2001 revival of "The Women" (which was later taped for, and broadcast on, PBS).
Jennifer Tilly burst onto the scene playing the tone deaf Monica Moran in "The Fabulous Baker Boys", and has been playing unforgettable characters ever since. In 1994 she earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of the spectacularly untalented Olive Neal in Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway." She followed that up with a memorable turn as Jim Carrey's gold digging client in the blockbuster hit "Liar, Liar" and a sultry performance as Violet in the Wachowski Brother's cult classic, "Bound" Over the years Jennifer has worked with some of the world's best directors, including Terry Gilliam ("Tideland") Neal Jordon, ("High Spirits") Joe Pytka ("Let It Ride") Roger Donaldson ("The Getaway") Ronny Yu ("Bride of Chucky") Woody Allen ("Bullets Over Broadway")Jerry Shatzberg, ("No Small Affair") Rob Minkoff ("Stuart Little" and "Haunted Mansion") Peter Bogdanavich ("The Cat's Meow"), Richard Benjamin ("Made in America") Alphonso Arau ("The Magnificent Ambersons") Oliver Stone, ("The Doors") Albert Brooks ("The Muse") and Michael Radford ("Dancing at the Blue Iguana") Other films include: "Saint Ralph," "Seed of Chucky," "Music from Another Room," "Shadow of the Wolf," "Bart Got a Room," "An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong," "Relax It's Just Sex," "The Wrong Guy," "Second Best," "Sister Mary Explains It All," "Bella Mafia," "Edie and Pen," "The Crew," "Hide and Seek," and many more. Jennifer has appeared on some of television's best series, including "Cheers", "Moonlighting", "CSI" and "Frasier." She was a recurring character on "Hill Street Blues"," It's Garry Shandling's Show", and "Out of Practice", and a series regular on Fox's "Key West", and "Shaping Up" (NBC) She is also in great demand as a voice over artist. Her vocal characterizations include the snaky haired Celia in Pixel's "Monsters Inc", the new age cow Grace in Disney's "Home on the Range", the demonic doll Tiffany from Universal's "Chucky" series, and the perpetually pregnant Bonnie on "Family Guy." Equally at home on stage as well as film, she has many theatre credits under her belt. She received a TheatreWorld award for her performance in Second Stage's "One Shoe Off" performed at the Joseph Papp. In 2001 she starred in the Broadway revival of "The Women" with Cynthia Nixon, and Kristen Johnson. In 2008 she appeared with Miranda Richardson in the critically acclaimed production of Wallace Shawn's play "Grasses of a Thousand Colors" at the Royal Court Theatre in London. Other plays include "Tartuffe" (LAAT) "Boy's Life" (LAAT) "Baby With The Bathwater" (LAPT) and others too numerous to mention. In the year 2005 Jennifer met her current boyfriend professional poker player Phil Laak (also known as the Unabomber.) That summer at the World Series of Poker, she bested a field of 601 to take down the Ladies Event and win a coveted gold bracelet. She followed this up by winning the WPT Ladies Invitational, making her one of a small but elite group holding both a WSOP bracelet, and a WPT title. Summer 2010 she also won the Bellagio Cup 5k tournament. She writes a monthly column for Bluff magazine, and is a regular on the tournament circuit. She is a familiar face on many poker TV shows, including "Poker Superstars", "Poker After Dark", "The Big Game", "The World Poker Open", "The Poker Lounge" and NBC "Heads Up", to name a few. Currently she is number 25 on the Women's All Time Money list, with career earnings in excess of six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Upcoming films include "30 Beats" with Justin Kirk and Paz de la Huerta, and "The Secret Life of Nerds" starring opposite Jim Belushi. In Dec 2010 she received the Best Actress Award from the WIFT (Women in Film and Television) Foundation for her work in the Mary McGuckian films "Intervention" and "Inconcievable" slated for release in 2011.
