Jennifer Tilly
If you’re a fan of Academy-Award winning films, then you probably have seen Bullets Over Broadway. It’s this film which stars John Cusack as a playwright who tries to make it on Broadway, Dianne West, Jennifer Tilly, and Chazz Palminteri. The movie took home an Academy Award and a few nominations, one of which was a nomination for Best Supporting Actress – which was a 
nomination for Jennifer Tilly.
Of course, in the more recent years Tilly is known for either her role in Liar, Liar, or for her various voice-over jobs in different animated projects. She is a semi-regular at The Family Guy, and has lent her voice to films such as Monsters, Inc. and Stuart Little. To those who are fans of the poker world, though, she is more than just an actress who has appeared in many films. She is a known World Series of Poker bracelet winner, having won the Ladies’ Event in 2005.
She started being recognized in the poker world when she won the WSOP Ladies’ No Limit Texas Hold’Em Event in 2005, taking home $158,625 and a WSOP bracelet, which is the highest honor that a poker player can achieve in the poker industry. All in all her poker winnings are at over $450,000. In 2006, she indicated in an interview that her interest in the game of poker was greater than her passion for her acting craft. While she retired from the world of professional poker playing in December of 2008 (stating “Trying to find validation in poker is like trying to find a virgin in a whorehouse… I’m just going to treat [poker] more like a hobby and less like a career”), she still says that she cannot quit the game of poker altogether, because she does love the game.
