I’m going to need all of the horror loving girlies step to the front, since Bravo is giving you your Christmas gift early. Queen of the Child’s Play demonic doll series, Jennifer Tilly, is joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! If you’re not yet familiar with Jennifer Tilly’s cinematic accomplishments, then buckle up because you’re in for a fun a surprise. Outside of being an accomplished actress, Jennifer has some unique hobbies that make her entree onto the RHOBH scene a little more fitting than being besties with a homicidal red-haired doll might indicate. Like the fact that she collects rare jewelry, including a custom diamond necklace once owned by Fred Astaire’s daughter which JT donned for her Beverly Hills cast photo. Intrigued? You should be! Here’s everything to know about Jennifer Tilly joining the cast of RHOBH.
Jennifer is long-time friends with four season returning star Sutton Stracke, which was her bridge into the franchise as a friend of the show. The colorful actress is also a famous Los Angeles resident, with plenty of connections from Hollywood to Beverly Hills after her 20 plus years in the entertainment industry, so it makes sense why she’d be a splashy choice by Bravo casting. Since filming has wrapped, Jennifer has described the new gig as “challenging” and “the craziest thing she’s ever done.” Her “front row seat” to “uncouth people” yelling in a fancy restaurant has become her “superbowl.” Seems like whether or not she nailed the role is TBD!
Madame Tilly is an Oscar-nominated performer with an IMDB resume even Taylor Armstrong couldn’t poke holes in. Her role as Olive Neal in Bullets Over Broadway earned her the nomination, but her tenure as Tiffany Valentine in Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, and others in the Chucky franchise is what she’s most known for.
Jennifer was previously married to the late television producer Sam Simon, and is currently in a longstanding partnership with Phil Laak. She’s been booed up with the professional poker player since 2004 which hopefully means miss mamas has curated a solid poker face.
Jennifer Tilly is currently 66-years-old. She celebrated her September 16 birthday with a cake cut but none other than the doll version of her infamous character, Tiffany Valentine.
