**Jennifer Tilly** (born **Jennifer Ellen Chan**; September 16, 1958 – November 2022) was a Hollywood movie star who became targeted by the killer dolls Chucky and Tiffany Valentine, the latter of whom swapped bodies with Tilly, leading her to become trapped in the Tiffany doll for years and forced to make money online to keep up Tiffany's charade. She would then be held captive for almost twenty years until the efforts of Tiffany's children, Glen and Glenda, would finally expose her true identity. However, Jennifer Tilly would become wanted for multiple murders due to Tiffany's actions and, upon attempting to escape, Jennifer would be struck by a truck and killed.

## Biography

### Early life

Jennifer Ellen Chan was born on September 16, 1958 in Los Angeles, California. Some years later, her younger sister, Meg, would also be born. At some point in her life, Tilly pursued a career as a professional actress, starring in films such as 1994's *Bullets Over Broadway*, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award but lost out to Diane Wiest, 1996's *Bound* alongside Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano and 1997's *Liar Liar* alongside Jim Carrey. However, by 2004, Tilly eventually became known as a B-list actress throughout Hollywood, not being taken particularly seriously and losing out on many roles.

### Meeting Chucky (2004)

#### Shooting *Chucky Goes Psycho*

"*I mean look at me, I'm an Oscar-nominee for Christ sake and now I'm fucking a puppet! Got no fan mail, no paparazzi, no stalkers. Well, there must be something I'm right for.*"
—Jennifer's career frustrations.[src]

After the rumors of the murderous dolls Chucky and Tiffany spread around the world since their on-the-road massacre in 1998, Hollywood directors began developing a film adaptation of the legend, titled *Chucky Goes Psycho*. Jennifer would eventually audition and obtain the role of Tiffany, the sadistic "Bride of Chucky". One day in between shooting, Jennifer successfully escaped from the sight of her assistant, Joan, who had her on a major diet, in order to sneak a bite of a chocolate bar she kept hidden. However, she was soon found, forcing her to hide her snack in the small pocket of the animatronic Chucky doll. The two sat with each other and discussed Jennifer's failing career, with her cursing out the success of Julia Roberts' career and the roles she had stolen from her in the past. During Jennifer's depressive outburst, Joan suddenly came across a newspaper article revealing rapper-turned-director Redman was searching for a leading lady to play the Virgin Mary in his upcoming bible epic. Convinced it was exactly what she needed to reinvent her career, Jennifer quickly ordered Joan to get Redman on the phone and schedule a meeting, causing Joan to laugh slightly at the idea of Jennifer as a holy figure.

Later, during her meeting with Redman, the two read through a scene from his upcoming film, with Jennifer doing her best to read through it sensually and keep the rapper's attention while he stared shamelessly at her breasts. After the read through, Redman thanked her for her efforts but digressed that he would be sticking with his first choice for the role, Julia Roberts. Determined to steal a role back from Roberts, Jennifer continued to flirt with the rapper, offering to audition again in a more intimate setting and inviting him over to her estate that night for dinner, planning to sleep with him for the role. Immediately after her meeting, Jennifer visited the backstage props wardrobe and retrieved her previous chocolate bar from the Chucky doll's pocket. She then noticed the decapitated head of puppeteer, Tony Gardner, and, unaware it was real, picked it up and began playing with it. However, she soon realised its authenticity and dropped it, screaming.

After the police arrived to take the corpse away, Jennifer attempted to flee home from the studio only to be swarmed by hoards of paparazzi, asking her what had happened. Celebrity photographer, Pete Peters, even approached her and asked if she could draw him a picture of what was happening by the time she found the body, with her forcefully declining. After seeing the head being carried to the van one last time, Jennifer was quickly whisked away by her personal drive, Stan, unaware that the now-live dolls of Chucky, Tiffany, and their child, Glen/da, were stowed away in the back seat. Seeking comfort, she quickly began making out with Stan but before he could tell her how deeply he truly felt about her, Jennifer quickly called up Joan to inform her of her plans. After informing her of the incident at the studio, she asked the assistant to bring a bottle of champagne that night to her house and before Joan to protest, Jennifer abruptly hung up. As Stan appeared visibly upset about the news of Jennifer and Redman, she comforted him with the fact that he would be out as soon as possible, stating that it was only business.

#### Impregnated by Dolls

"*Wait! I do remember, I... had the strangest dream. I dreamt my guardian angel came to me. She had the sweetest voice I've ever heard. She told me to respect myself... and then she asked for my autograph.*"
—Jennifer reminisces on her "bad dream".[src]

That night, Jennifer got ready for Redman's arrival as Joan delivered the bottle of champagne and continued to exclaim how horrible her plans to advance her career, stating that she would be going to Hell for how wrong it was. However, Jennifer was adamant in going through with it and, after Redman pulled up outside the estate, she ordered Joan to leave her key on the counter on her way out, firing her for good for referring to her as 'disgusting'. As the two sat down with their glasses of champagne, the rapper reminded Jennifer that he was a true fan of hers, referring to *Bound* as his favourite movie. Bringing up Gina Gershon, Jennifer explained that the three of them could meet up sometime and have fun together, leading the two of them to start making out, unaware of Pete Peters photographing them from outside and Tiffany lurking behind the couch. After breaking out of it, Redman explained that it was God himself who told him that Jennifer would be the perfect actress for the role of virgin Mary before pushing her head down between his legs but being suddenly knocked out by an unseen assailant behind them.

Surprised by Redman falling unconscious, Jennifer worriedly looked down at a small figure walking from behind the couch, revealing herself as Tiffany. The doll then began shaming Jennifer for her terrible choices in her career and for selling her body for a role before then nicely asking for her autograph. In complete shock, Jennifer screamed at Tiffany before attempting to run away further into the house and running into Chucky holding up his sperm sample, screaming even more. She then ended up slipping on her heel and smacking her head on the floor with Tiffany approaching her and offering her the chance to give up running or force her to knock her out. Still in shock, Jennifer continued to scream and attempted to run away once again before Tiffany threw her own award at her head and knocked her unconscious. This gave Chucky and Tiffany the opportunity to drag both Jennifer and Redman away from the scene, bringing Jennifer up to her bedroom and impregnating her with Chucky's sperm sample in the hopes of using her as a surrogate mother for their own child, Glen/da.

The next morning, the pair woke up and remembered most of the previous night as a blur, with Jennifer remembering Tiffany as her guardian angel that appeared to her and told her to respect herself. Either way, both would believe that they had slept together. Later that day, Jennifer entered her car with Stan, who once again attempted to reveal how he felt toward her, only to be interrupted by her suddenly throwing up into her bag. Unaware of her pregnancy at first, she asked him to continue, however, the mood was ruined. By that night, Jennifer had learned that she was pregnant and, believing it to be Redman's, invited the rapper around for dinner again. When confronted with the information, he explained that he had a vasectomy years ago, making it impossible for the child to be his. Confused, she attempted to enquire further before the phone rang, informing her of the murder of Pete Peters, in which she was a possible suspect. Unbeknownst to her, Tiffany had appeared and disembowelled Redman behind her bag and once Jennifer remerged from the kitchen, believing him to be ignoring her, she told him to drop dead before leaving, which he did.

#### Held Captive

"*Joan! Joan, I'm- I'm- I'm fat!"
"You're not fat."
"No I am fat! For the love of Mary I'm pregnant!*"
—Jennifer makes a shocking discovery.[src]

The morning after, Jennifer woke up to discover herself at least nine months pregnant, somehow happening overnight. In a panic and with no one else to call, she quickly dialled Joan's number and attempted to explain her supernatural situation to her. She managed to explain that she was pregnant before Tiffany suddenly appeared on the line and messed up the pair's conversation before Chucky emerged from behind Jennifer and began choking her with a bedsheet. Eventually, he managed to get on the floor and later tied to the bed as Tiffany made up an excuse and calmly hung up on Joan. Just as Chucky began to hit on Jennifer himself, Tiffany entered the room and quickly shut it down, demanding him to shut her up as she began to scream for help, leading to Jennifer being gagged on the bed. She would then be witness to the small doll family having their respective dramas, seeking to stop killing for the sake of their child, also discovering Redman's corpse in her closet, left by Tiffany.

Now without a suitable human body for Chucky to possess, Tiffany called Stan, pretending to be Jennifer, and asked him to come to the house, managing to then hold him captive alongside her. By that night, Jennifer had already gone into labor, with Tiffany making preparations to deliver the child. Stan initially attempted to comfort her and still tell her how he felt about her before Chucky gagged him. Just then, Joan suddenly appeared at the front door, causing the dolls to panic as she made her way inside and up the stairs. She eventually walked into the bedroom and witnessed the horrific situation as Jennifer called out for her help. However, Chucky began approaching Joan from behind, causing Jennifer to spit out her gag and attempt to warn her until Glen/da suddenly appeared and lit her on fire with a lighter and hairspray, sending her screaming over the railing and landing headfirst on the hallway floor, killing her. With Chucky and Tiffany unaware of their child's more violent side, they continued to argue about their identity in front of Jennifer and Stan before deciding to continue on with the ritual.

Suddenly, Jennifer was ready to deliver the baby, with Tiffany's assistance and some arguing. Eventually, she was able to give birth to a healthy baby boy, much to Chucky's joy, and, surprisingly, a little baby girl soon after. Just as Chucky was about to begin the body-swapping ritual, Tiffany interjected and reminded him that Glen/da had to choose if they wished to be a boy or a girl, already stressing him out as the police also pulled up to the front door, leading Jennifer to begin screaming for help. Eventually, Chucky screamed at everyone to shut up, deciding to stay in his doll body, break up with Tiffany and attempt to kill Jennifer as a way to ruin Tiffany's plan. However, Stan was quick to break free from his restraints and move in front of her, taking a knife to the chest and dying. As the cops finally broke into the house, the dolls fled the scene and a distraught Jennifer, alongside her two crying children and a plethora of dead bodies, was discovered in her bedroom.

#### Tiffany's Body Swap

"*The important thing for you to think about now is getting well so that so you can get on with your life and your career."
"I don't care about my career I want my babies!*"
—Jennifer to her agent following her incident.[src]

Jennifer and her children were immediately brought to the local hospital for several check-ups on their health after such carnage, with her demanding to see her babies but most health professionals believing her to be mentally incompetent after the stories told by her. She is still given photos of her children, which she smiles at. After being told to get some sleep, she is unaware that Tiffany and Glen/da had followed her and injected her IV with a drug, making her feel faint and ultimately making her fall to the floor, unable to move. The two dolls then approached her just as Chucky suddenly began breaking through the door with an axe. In a rush, Tiffany began chanting the body swap spell holding the Heart of Damballa, causing Jennifer and Tiffany's souls to completely switch bodies, with Jennifer now being trapped within the Tiffany doll and Tiffany now controlling Jennifer Tilly's body.

### Aftermath (2004-2022)

#### Enslaved by Tiffany

"*Just a little bit of chocolate, that's all I ask!"
"Shut up with the exposition, Jennifer!*"
—Jennifer's pleas to Tiffany Valentine.[src]

In the aftermath of the body swap at the hospital, Tiffany completely took over Jennifer's life, pretending to be her and ruining her career even further. She also split and placed Glen/da's soul into Jennifer's children, raising the pair as her own in Jennifer's luxurious Hollywood estate and hiring a nanny in the form of Fulvia to help raise them. During the years, she would also reconcile with Chucky and use Jennifer's body to help him even more in his evil schemes over the years. Furthermore, she also kept the Tiffany doll that Jennifer's soul would be trapped in, however, Jennifer seemingly could not move during her first few years within the doll, simply sitting on display on Tiffany's shelf. In 2009, on Glen and Glenda's fifth birthday, Tiffany would get into an argument with Fulvia about wanting to quit due to Glenda's horrific behaviour. Initially, Tiffany agreed with her seemed to let her go, however, she then grabbed the Tiffany doll with Jennifer inside and began beating Fulvia to death with it, laughing manically. She then took Jennifer outside to show off the doll to the other children.

At some point after 2009, Jennifer would fully awaken within the doll and be held captive in a large bird cage by Tiffany after purchasing a grand new mansion. Due to her not being as talented of an actress or poker player as Jennifer once was, Tiffany forced her to play online poker and voice the character of Bonnie in the animated comedy, *Family Guy*, in order to keep money coming into the household, allowing her to keep up the charade of being the true Jennifer Tilly in exchange for chocolate.

#### Reuniting with Meg

"*I need to convince your sister, Meg, that I'm you, Jennifer Tilly!"
"Meg is here?!*"
—Jennifer learns her sister has arrived.[src]

By 2022, Tiffany had completely dropped Chucky and had instead fallen in love with a woman named Nica Pierce, who she dismembered and kept as a hostage within her luxurious mansion. However, a now-grown up Glen and Glenda had discovered their true, repressed heritage and their mother's true identity, leading them to gather Jennifer's old friends, such as Gina Gershon, Joe Pantoliano, Sutton Stracke, and even her younger sister, Meg, within the house as an attempt to expose her, which ended with Nica escaping. Meg then consistently kept returning due to her knowing something was wrong with her sister, asking her about their past, leading Tiffany to confront Jennifer and ask her to tell her stories of her youth, still trying to seem like the true Jennifer Tilly. However, Jennifer ended up telling her a lie, offering the plot of a film instead, leading Meg to continue to ask questions and engaging Tiffany.

After her awkward interaction with Meg, Tiffany burst back into her secret room and confronted Jennifer, exclaiming that she was going to make her life even worse moving forward. However, all the doll offered back was a snarky and sarcastic reply. Just then, Meg and Glen suddenly entered the room without Tiffany realising and discovered the bird cage housing a trapped Jennifer. She attempted to call out to her sister, exclaiming that it was really her and that her soul was trapped within the doll, finally revealing Tiffany as a fraud. However, before Meg can fully react, Tiffany suddenly revealed her nail file and began ruthlessly stabbing Meg in the throat and chest, with Jennifer watching on and screaming in horror until she finally fell to the floor in a pool of blood. After calming down, Tiffany attempted to explain everything to Glen, only for Jennifer to scream angry insults at Tiffany for what she had done until her cage was covered once again. After deciding to drop her Jennifer Tilly persona for good, Tiffany took Glen and Jennifer and burned her mansion to the ground, driving away in silence.

#### Death

"*We have to switch places again!"
"No, hold on a second, what about me? I go back to being Jennifer Tilly? Now that Jennifer Tilly is a criminal on the lam?!*"
—Jennifer questions Tiffany's plan.[src]

With Jennifer Tilly now wanted for murder, Tiffany, Glen, and Jennifer travel across the country to meet up with Nica, Glenda, and past Chucky victim, Kyle. The three stop at Hope Diner in order to pick up food on the way, only for Tiffany to get recognised as Jennifer and flee the scene. Realising what she had to do, she exclaimed that she had to return to doll form and wished to switch bodies with Jennifer again. However, Jennifer disagreed and did not wish to return to her life if she was a wanted criminal. Ignoring her, Tiffany attempted to start her car again only for it to stall and fail, leaving them stranded. Later that night, they still sat there, with Jennifer worrying in the back seat about her fate. As Glen and Tiffany became distracted by their continued family drama, Jennifer managed to pry her restraints loose and quickly fled from the car, with Tiffany close behind, onto a nearby road. However, before she could get far, a truck suddenly appeared and ran her over, completely destroying the doll and finally killing Jennifer in the process.
