Jennifer Till Went for It

I WAS COMING OFF of Bullets Over Broadway, but the pickings were slim. My manager wanted me to do Bride of Chucky. He called me up and he goes, “Jennifer, you got an offer,” and I go, “Oh, I did?” He goes, “It’s a major motion picture,” and he knew I always had a hard-on to do major motion pictures because I’d made so many little independent films. I was like, “Really? Why is somebody offering me a major motion picture? What’s it about?” He goes, “It’s about a little doll that kills people,” and I was like, “Oh my God, a Chucky movie? I’m not doing a Chucky movie. I can’t even believe you’re coming to me with a Chucky movie.” Back then, horror films were things that you did at the beginning of your career and then at the end of your career. Renée Zellweger was in The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre; Jennifer Aniston was in Leprechaun.

Then the older actresses, when they get older, they do What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush … Hush, Sweet Charlotte. I was in the middle of my career. I was hoping I could parlay my Oscar nomination from Bullets Over Broadway into something a little more elevated than a Chucky movie.
