Birth Name : Jennifer Elizabeth Chan
Date of Birth : 16 September 1958, Harbor City, California, USA
Height : 5' 6½" (1.69 m)
Occupation : Actress
Born in Harbor City, California, Tilly was young when she moved to Canada with her family. Tilly ran track for Belmont High School in Victoria, British Columbia before returning to the states to study drama at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. After graduating, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career (before sister Meg, contrary to popular myth), studying her craft with Peggy Feury, Stella Adler and Michael Shurtleff. She later performed in the otherwise all-black production of "Vanities" in Los Angeles before joining the Group Repertory Theater, where she appeared in Sam Shepard's "Buried Child" and "The Bacchae."
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.
