The Big Chill star didn't disappear—she left the spotlight to give her kids "a normal life." You might remember Meg Tilly from her roles in The Big Chill, Psycho II, and Valmont. Throughout the '80s and '90s, the actress (and now romance writer) was all over the big screen.
Tilly later appeared in Valmont (1989), The Two Jakes (1990) with Jack Nicholson and Leaving Normal (1992) with Christine Lahti, as well as the 1993 horror film Body Snatchers. After this, she stopped acting for the next 15 years.
Tilly, who moved to Canada with her children, also stayed busy over the years writing books, including some romance novels. More recently, she's been edging her way back to acting with roles on stage and the Canadian TV drama “Bomb Girls.”
There was also talk of them playing Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland, who were also Hollywood sisters. However, Fontaine and de Havilland infamously hated each other, so the project just didn't sit right with Jennifer and Meg, who are close in real life.
Personal life. Tilly was married to Sam Simon, developer and producer of The Simpsons, from 1984 until 1991. As of 2018, Tilly receives 30 percent of net proceeds that Simon's estate receives from Fox. She has been in a relationship with professional poker player Phil Laak since 2004.
