Enthusiasts of 1980s cinema were in for a delightful surprise when one of the era’s most elusive stars made a rare appearance on social media, sharing a charming photo with her equally renowned sister.

Now at 65, this actress, who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in the 1985 film “Agnes of God,” was seen enjoying a heartwarming family moment on Instagram. Her current lifestyle seems to reflect a shift from the glamour of Hollywood to a more serene, home-centered existence.

This transition aligns with her decision to leave the limelight in her early 30s. She chose to focus on raising her three children in Canada, prioritizing what she described as providing them with a ‘normal life.’

In the shared images, she is casually dressed in an apron, busy in the kitchen—a stark contrast to the red-carpet glamour she once experienced. Notably, she starred alongside Glenn Close, Kevin Kline, and William Hurt in the 1983 classic, “The Big Chill.”

The photos capture her preparing a lavish meal in celebration of Canadian Thanksgiving, a traditional harvest festival observed on the second Monday of October. This moment offers a glimpse into her life away from the spotlight.

Accompanying her in the photos is her sister, Jennifer Tilly, known for her role as Tiffany Valentine in the “Child’s Play” sequels and her recent appearances on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

Can you guess which reclusive star it is? 

Fans of classic 80s cinema got a rare treat when one of its most reclusive stars shared a snapshot on social media — alongside her equally famous sister

If you guessed Meg Tilly, you’re right! 

Tilly’s career has been nothing short of acclaimed. She won a Golden Globe and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 1985’s Agnes of God. 

Her film credits also include Psycho II (1983), Masquerade (1988), and Valmont (1989). 

On the small screen, she won the 2013 Canadian Screen Award for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work on Bomb Girls (2012–13), proving her talent spans both film and television.  

When Meg returned to the screen in 2017 to star opposite Pitt in War Machine, she reflected on her bold decision to step away from Hollywood and pursue a different life.

‘I would always take my children with me when I went on movies,’ she explained to People of the choice to leave acting. 

‘That worked really well for a few years. But then one year, we went to shoot Leaving Normal and when we came back, my daughter’s best friend was best friends with someone else. She was devastated.’

Tilly knew she had a difficult choice to make. 

‘I couldn’t be gone six to nine months from my children’s lives. I had a challenging childhood, so I didn’t feel like I could trust somebody else to raise them. 

‘My children didn’t ask to be born. I had a responsibility to be there.’

Now also a novelist and romance writer, Tilly said she poured herself into being the ultimate ‘June Cleaver’ mom. 

‘My daughter once told me, “You think if you just make a big stack of pancakes, it will solve the world’s problems.” And I did! 

‘They had the hot cookies after school and a hot breakfast every morning. I just wanted to be one of those Leave It To Beaver moms. I was just trying to love them the way I knew how best.’

By the time she returned to acting, her three children — Emily, 40, and David, 38, from her first marriage to producer Tim Zinneman, and Will, 34, from her early 90s relationship with Firth — were grown and out of the house. 

Tilly also admitted she didn’t miss the Hollywood hustle.

‘I didn’t allow myself to miss it,’ she told the outlet of stepping away. 

‘In those days, the females was kind of the fire hydrant that all the men wanted to prove themselves on. You’d get hit on a lot. That was challenging, dealing with different egos and having to work with people who still wanted to get the girl. It was hard.’

She added: ‘It’s not always great being famous. I love not being watched all the time.’
