Geocache Description:

One Hundred Twentyfifth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Jennifer Tilly
Jennifer E. Chan was born in Harbor City, Los Angeles, California on September 16, 1958. She is the second of four children of Harry Chan, a Chinese American used car salesman, and Patricia Tilly, a schoolteacher and former stage actress. Jennifer is an Academy Award-nominated American actress and a World Series of Poker bracelet winner.

Tilly married The Simpsons producer Sam Simon in 1984, but they divorced in 1991. She is currently dating poker professional Phil "Unabomber" Laak and is nicknamed "The Unabombshell" within the poker circuit. Laak is 14 years Tilly's junior.

On June 27, 2005, Tilly won a World Series of Poker bracelet (and $158,625) in the Ladies' No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em event, outlasting 600 other players. She followed up this accomplishment on September 1, 2005 by also winning the third World Poker Tour Ladies Invitational Tournament held at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles. Tilly has appeared in the GSN Poker Royale series. She appeared in the third season of Poker Superstars but was eliminated in the preliminary round.

Tilly had small roles in TV shows and movies beginning in 1983. Tilly's breakthrough film role was as a singing waitress in The Fabulous Baker Boys in 1989. She has appeared in many major motion pictures and does voice-over work as killer doll Tiffany for the Child's Play series of movies. In the most recent installment, Seed of Chucky, she plays a dual role, not only providing the voice for Tiffany but also playing an exaggerated version of herself.

But I fell for her when I saw her in a fabulous unknown movie called "Scorchers" in 1991. This is one of those little known films that is just absolutely marvelous and has a cast of wonderful actors including Faye Dunaway, Denholm Elliott, James Earl Jones, James Wilder and of course, Jennifer. In this film, Emily Lloyd plays the role of Splendid in Bayou La Teche, Louisiana. The movie is centered around her wedding day and other events going on in this small Cajun town. Great movie, highly recommended, if you can find it.

Now mind you, this is not in typical fashion of your standard FP cache. In fact, the closest marker is that of the Gooden family. But just a few steps away, is the Tilly family marker and I just couldn't get past naming it from there. And you wouldn't believe the fun I had searching for pictures to use on this cache page. .....where was I? Oh yes, the cache itself is a micro, very well hidden nearby the Tilly's. You should find it well hidden and I would ask that you make every effort to rehide it with the same cover. That shouldn't be hard to do right there. Guess what, it's a micro so BYO or walk back and get one. That might cost you all of about 30 seconds.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to browsing those pictures.

UPDATE 2011: Distance from original: 78.2 feet or 23.8 meters.
