Why did Meg Tilly’s career go straight down the shitter but Jennifer Tilly’s career thrived?

My dad said I had to choose just one Tilly and Meg Tilly gives great head.

Who is Meg Tilly??

I love Meg Tilly. She was physically and sexually abused by her father for years. There is fragileness about her and I think she's given some great performances because of it.

Meg is a fine actress, she's just too wispy.

Is Meg the one in the Chucky movies? I love her

Meg was a dancer who became an actress after an injury left her unable to perform. She retired from acting. She married John Calley, the head of Sony. She writes books now and lives back in Canada.

She's fine. She sends her love.

That's her younger sister Jennifer in the "Chucky" movies, R6.

One of them makes a living as a poker champ. Must be Jennifer?

Correct, R10. And sometimes acting.

Meg hit the eject button herself. When she and Calley divorced, she got a nice settlement. It was amicable and they are still on good terms.

She was absolutely chilling in Body Snatchers.

“Go where? Where you gonna go, where you gonna run, where you gonna hide? Nowhere... 'cause there's no one like you left.”

She made a bit of a comeback a few years ago in the Canadian series Bomb Girls but I guess she prefers doing her videos on Youtube.

I always forget Meg Tilly has an Oscar nomination

Meg, Diana Scarwid, and Olivia Hussey were all great in the 'Psycho' sequels. None of them acted much in feature films afterwards, though.

R14 you just reminded me Jennifer has one as well.

I was offered a galley of one of her romance novels.

I declined.

Her stepfather molested her, not her father.

She's talking about James Woods, isn't she? (circa 5:30)

I always forget she was with Colin Firth and they had a son.

I can't get over (I WON'T get over!) that she married an old dude and she had to pay off his debts, which were in the millions. The old man was the son of the Fred Zinnemann.

The old husband also made her pull out of callbacks for "Flashdance." She very likely would have got the role over Jennifer Beals.

I've watched her youtube videos and I love her, but she's not "all there" right? There is a story about Anne Bancroft's rosary going missing on the set of Agnus of God and I totally think Meg stole it LOL.

One has giant tatas. One has a brain. It's Hollywood.

[quote]That's her younger sister Jennifer in the "Chucky" movies, [R6].

Jennifer is older than Meg by 2 years.

Jennifer Tilly was hysterical and so great in "Bullets Over Broadway." Loved her.

Here's a short interview where she talks about her writing and alludes to her childhood and other life experiences. She's on the show primarily because she played Brad Pitt's wife in War Machine. She loves Brad.

And indeed why did Johannes Tserclaes Tilly’s career thrive until his collapse was complete in 1631?

They are half Chinese.

Well, she was sent the script for "Silence of the Lambs" but she's a self described scaredy cat so she didn't even consider it.

She was very talented, but it seems like her writing brings her more joy these days and it makes sense. As an actor, you have so little control about what roles you get or projects you get attached to unless you're super A-list. With writing, you can play around in whatever worlds you want to.

Her YouTube videos make her seem lovably kooky.

Her Tea Time chats were a highlight of the lockdown for me.

Jennifer is thriving?

Her Chuck series seems to have been well received. And with her divorce settlement, she'll thrive til she croaks.

*Chucky

I get the impression Meg Tilly is over bad workplace behavior. As a writer, she has long been able to avoid any of that shit. She did a project with those New York messes, Natasha Lyonne and Chloe Larry Clark. It sounds like it wasn't an experience she'd care to repeat.

Meg was good in Masquerade (1988), now on Tubi. With a pre-Melrose Place Doug Savant and the insufferable Kim Cattrall. Both Rob Lowe and Kim have shirtless scenes. Filmed in eastern Long Island (Riverhead, Sag Harbor, Southampton).

She will be appearing in Chucky season 2 with her sister Jennifer.

Yes, here's a more recent thread about her and her sister.
