On this day in 1958, actress, voice actress, and professional poker player Jennifer Tilly was born. Disney fans will likely recognize her distinctive voice from her portrayals of Celia Mae in ‘Monsters, Inc.’ and Grace the cow in ‘Home on the Range.’ She also played Madame Leota in the 2003 live-action version of ‘The Haunted Mansion’ and guest-starred in two episodes of ABC’s ‘Modern Family.’ Tilly was an Academy Award nominee for Best Supporting Actress.
