Biography
Beginning her career in the early '80s, Jennifer Tilly appeared as a regular on the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't 1984 sitcom Shaping Up. Many of her earlier films were on par with the 1985 Police Academy clone Moving Violations. Tilly enjoyed a career breakthrough when she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway (1994), which cast her as the vacuous, staggeringly untalented girlfriend of a mobster. The actress subsequently appeared in films of widely divergent quality, most notably the Wachowski brothers' Bound (1996), a stylish post-noir thriller that cast Tilly as the bisexual girlfriend of a bottom-dwelling criminal. Whatever the quality of her films, Tilly can claim to have worked steadily in Hollywood, and she has earned a dedicated number of followers for her work in such cult films as Bride of Chucky, which cast her as the spouse of a demonic children's toy. The younger sister of Meg Tilly, Jennifer was her sister's body double in 1993's Body Snatchers.
Went to high school at Belmont High School, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Sister of actress Meg Tilly. She also has an older brother and a younger sister named Rebecca Tilly.

Lenny von Dohlen, who co-starred with Jennifer in Bird of Prey (1995) and her sister Meg Tilly in Leaving Normal (1992), said, "They have a fountain of emotion that keeps coming, even after someone yells cut, but the fountain comes from different bodies of water," he adds.
