Executive summary: Bound, Monsters, Inc. Born Jennifer Chan, her father was Chinese-American, but considered himself just another American. She was raised in western Canada after the age of 5, when her parents divorced and her mother re-married a hippie. She studied drama at a tiny college in Missouri, then sold sandwiches in Los Angeles area office buildings while waiting to break into acting. Tilly was Oscar-nominated for playing a ditzy moll in Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway. She has said Allen's only direction was that her character was never supposed to stop talking, even when she was in the background. Her incessant chatter wasn't scripted, so Tilly was supposed to improvise, and when her improvising ran dry she was scolded by Allen: "Don't let that happen again."
