Jennifer Tilly is a woman of many talents: an Oscar-nominated actress, the breathy voice behind Bonnie Swanson in Family Guy, part-owner of The Simpsons, and a poker champion inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.
At 66, Tilly may project the aura of old-money glamour, but appearances can be deceiving. “I used to do a lot of movies because the roof was leaking, or to pay for the plumbing,” she said of her modest beginnings (per Business Insider).
Tilly has excelled not just in on-screen acting, where looks can play a pivotal role, but also in voice acting and professional poker, industries where success depends on talent.
