I was inspired enough to have a search on the Internet. I guess all YOU guys already knew this but I am shocked. Ms Tilly is in fact 58 and about the same age as Ms Mullally. Ms Mullally looked pretty mature back on **Will and Grace** so 58 sounds about right but I only knew Ms Tilly from the **Child’s Play (Chucky)** films and had the strangest idea she was still only in her 30s. In fact I was so far off the mark I had a vague feeling she was one of the ‘young girls’ from **Charmed**. She wasn’t although even they are now all in their early to mid forties. Where have all the years gone? TCMF-2L ---

She wasn’t although even they are now all in their early to mid forties. Where have all the years gone? I can see what you’re saying. I remember Jennifer Tilly from back when she was a guest star on _Hill Street Blues_ and I know that was over thirty years ago. But I have a hard time thinking of her as somebody in her fifties. ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > That’s Megan Mullally. She’s a lot less squeaky in real life. Tilly also exaggerates the squeakiness when she’s acting. Here’s a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEtJw9qEB-c) of her talking in her natural voice. ---

I’m pretty sure that “acting” should be in quotes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/id-this-actress-even-though-i-could-easily-google-her-pls/790230.md?page=1)
