| Jennifer Tilly is best known for being a character actress who excels playing dim-witted buxom girlfriends/wives. Her most famous roles are in Bound, Liar Liar and Bullets Over Broadway. |
 |
| She teases audiences with her coy, innocent sexiness, but is secretly winking at the audience because the joke is on us; she is nowhere near as dumb as she looks. |

Jennifer Tilly was born September 16, 1958, in Harbor City, California. The daughter of Harry, a stockbroker, and Pat, a schoolteacher, Jennifer's parents got divorced when she was 6. Pat Tilly remarried and took Jennifer, her 3 siblings, and her 3 stepsiblings to British Columbia, Canada.
Having to relocate constantly with her family, Jennifer had to adjust to each new school, and was a pretty quiet student. At 17, she started out yet again at a new school, this time at St. Stephen's College in Missouri, to study theater. In order to help pay for her tuition, she contributed articles to magazines and earned money by winning Honorable Mentions in writing competitions.
She then decided to head to college in Los Angeles rather than New York, as opposed to her sister Meg (you might remember her from roles in The Big Chill and Body Snatchers, in which Jennifer was Meg's body double). Frustrated at first, Jennifer did land her own parts as well. |
