That makes me happy, just because it means she still believes in our friendship and feels comfortable with Jane and me. What is your reaction to that statement, and might such a reunion happen? In August, Dolly Parton said that she would love to appear on Grace and Frankie with you and Jane Fonda. It’s just part of the fabric (not a crusading kind of thing), depicting it-what we deal with on a daily basis. Jane and I are doing Grace and Frankie with a deliberate desire on our part to show how discounted and dismissed older women are. A lot of actors who are still capable are around and more of a population interested in what older characters are doing or up against. It’s probably because so much of the population is aging. To what do you attribute this development?
Here, Tomlin joins us in the VIP Lounge to discuss a possible reunion with Dolly Parton, her preferred term for female groupies, and scary airplane meals.ĭespite Hollywood’s penchant for young faces, it seems like there has been a surge of great projects for older actors and actresses recently, including Grandma and Grace and Frankie. They married on New Year’s Eve in 2014, but Tomlin abhors and declines to use the term wife: “That’s just a further endorsement of the conventional quality it embraces, and we don’t,” she explains. Tomlin’s acclaimed one-woman show and movie, The Search For Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, was famously written by her partner of over 43 years, Jane Wagner.
She ranks Nashville (which earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination), All of Me, Flirting With Disaster, and And The Band Played On among her favorite film roles. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Tomlin first made her name on TV’s Laugh-In during the early 1970s, and one could easily fill several pages with her appearances, accomplishments, and accolades since then. Tomlin also heads up the indie dramedy Grandma, in which she plays a prickly, cash-strapped lesbian who must help her granddaughter cobble together $600 for an abortion by day’s end while grappling with memories of her deceased life partner.

Her 2015 Netflix series Grace and Frankie, in which she and fellow 9 to 5 co-star Jane Fonda play frenemies whose husbands come out as gay and ditch them for one another, was quickly renewed for a second season that will air in 2016. TRUE NATIONAL TREASURE, 76-YEAR-old actress/comedienne Lily Tomlin is having a truly prolific time lately.
