Barbara Stanwyck

After her death, biographies began to report these rumors as fact, with several sources who had known both Stanwyck and Taylor willing to go on record and verify these claims. In the most recent installment, Seed of Chucky, she plays a dual role, not only providing a voice for one of the killer dolls, but also playing a parody of herself. During her life, Stanwyck was the subject of rumor that she was a lesbian, and that her marriage to the actor Robert Taylor was a "lavender marriage", designed to conceal the fact that both were homosexual. Tilly gained some additional popularity in recent years for providing voice-over work for the Child's Play series of movies. Her last starring role was in 1985, in The Colbys. Jennifer married Simpsons producer Sam Simon in 1984 but they divorced in 1991. In her later years, she also starred in television, notably in the 1960s Western series, The Big Valley. Her breakthrough film role was in The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) and she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Bullets Over Broadway (1994).

She received an Academy Honorary Award "for superlative creativity and unique contribution to the art of screen acting" in 1982. She began her acting career as a teenager, putting herself through the theater program at Stephens College in Missouri. Stanwyck starred in almost a hundred films during her career and received four nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress: Stella Dallas (1937), Ball of Fire (1941), Double Indemnity (1944), and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). She attended Belmont High School along with her two sisters, one of whom, Meg Tilly, is also an actress. The play starred a British actress named Joan Stanwyck. Tilly was born Jennifer E Chan and was raised in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. She took her stage name from the name of a play, "Barbara Frietchie", about a fictional Civil War heroine.
