56----
57!!This actress contains examples of:
58* AsianAirhead: Has been known for playing up her ditzy persona both on and off-screen.
59* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey!: She’s one of the masters of using this to her advantage in both her movies and when she plays poker.
60* MistakenForGay: Because of the fact that she has played lesbian or bisexual characters (Violet, Bonnie who enjoyed kissing Lois at one point, and Tiffany who is sexually attracted to Nica in ''Cult'' and the ''Chucky'' series, and a scene in ''Seed'' where she hints that she has had relations with women), some people think she herself is bisexual in real life. However, she is in fact straight.
61* MsFanservice: Most, if not all, of her roles are this. The best known are the lesbian FemmeFatale Violet in ''Film/{{Bound 1996}}'' and Tiffany, the lover of the killer doll Chucky in ''Film/BrideOfChucky'' (when she's human anyway). Her raspy, sultry voice probably helps too.
62* MotorMouth: She says on the ''Film/BrideOfChucky'' DVD Commentary that she's very talkative, causing Don Mancini and Creator/BradDourif to laugh.
63* NomDeMom: Although she was born Jennifer Chan, she professionally uses her mother's maiden name, Tilly.
64* ObfuscatingStupidity: Her reputation does her more favors than her cleavage ever could. There were a couple of videos that were fairly popular in the Poker community where she's playing incredibly foolishly, but then she got better and was able to take advantage of people misjudging her.
65* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks pretty incredible for a woman in her 60's.
66-->''[[Film/LiarLiar "Yeah--in your bra!"]]''
67* YouLookFamiliar: [[invoked]] She played the same character type -- TheDitz with a heart of gold who briefly dates Frasier -- twice, in ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' and ''Series/{{Frasier}}''.
