Squeaky-voiced Hollywood star Jennifer Tilly shot to fame playing a lesbian who double-crosses the mob in the Wachowski brothers’ (The Matrix) thrilling debut Bound. Then she cemented her acting credentials with a wonderful performance in Woody Allen’s Bullets Over Broadway, which earned her an Oscar nomination. But in recent years her profile has dwindled, having gone down the schlock horror path with two movies about the psychopathic puppet Chucky. Thankfully, when the chips are down there’s always poker. The double win (2005 WSOP No-Limit Hold’em ladies title and the 2005 WPT Ladies Night win) is pretty impressive considering you’ve only been playing seriously for little over a year…


I know – when I was at the WSOP final table it felt very bizarre.
