Meg Tilly Parents: Meet Patricia Tilly, Harry Chan
Tilly was born in Long Beach, California, the daughter of Patricia Ann (née Tilly), a Canadian teacher, and businessman Harry Chan. Her father was Cantonese American, while her mother was of Irish and Finnish descent.
Following her parents’ divorce when she was three, Tilly was raised by her mother and stepfather, John Ward, on rural Texada Island in British Columbia. She later claimed that Ward was a violent pedophile. At the age of 12, Tilly started taking dance lessons, in part to avoid her stepfather, and in a few years had developed into a gifted ballerina.
