Let’s be real: Jennifer Tilly has one of those careers that’s hard not to admire. She’s best known for playing the iconic Tiffany Valentine in the “Chucky” franchise. But that’s just one corner of her résumé. It also includes fan-favorite titles like “Stuart Little” (1999), “Monsters, Inc.” (2001), and “The Haunted Mansion” (2003).
In addition to her film and TV work (and her success as a professional poker player) Tilly makes appearances on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Particularly Season 14, where she is credited as a “friend to” the Housewives.
But theatre fans know she’s got serious Broadway credentials, too. In 1993 she earned a Theatre World Award for her performance in the off-Broadway play “One Shoe Off. Tilly then went on to appear in revivals of “The Women” (2001) and “Don’t Dress for Dinner” (2012). So honestly, a theatre-focused event like this feels right in her wheelhouse.
