    The greatest actress ever and should be well noted for her talent and not just her chest! hide show

    Jennifer Tilly is 1 of the greatest actresses of our time with such great talent and charm should be in most of the movies you see. Her unique yet suthing voice makes her easily noticed. She has been in over 45 movies and the number is growing rappidly. Jennifer is a very sweet person who (I have heard) is fun to be around with a bubbly personality. I think Jennifer should be noticed much more and even have her own show. She has such good talent and is always prepared for her roles and picks roles that are different from her life and are fun for to do. Jennifer is also known for her big breast but has an overall nice body that has been seen in many movies. Men love her and so do woman. Jennifer Tilly is great and everyone should love her. I know that I do!
