An Evening with Lily Tomlin
An Evening with Lily Tomlin
At 80 years of age, few people are as busy as Lily Tomlin remains. Although the comedian has enjoyed a successful career, she keeps going strong. Tomlin, whose breakout role was on the variety show
Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In
, currently stars opposite
Jane Fonda
in
Grace and Frankie
. There's no venue she cannot command. From the small screen to the big, from comedy stages to Broadway, from live-action to narration, Tomlin makes it all look like a breeze. Critics love her, too. Tomlin has five dozen award nominations, and her wins include several lifetime achievement awards and special honors. Tomlin is the winner of one Golden Globe, five Primetime Emmys, six American Comedy Awards, one Daytime Emmy and a Grammy, among others. It's hard to believe she finds time to appear on talk show circuits while keeping up her comedy during live performances.
Lily Tomlin might have been born in Detroit, but she was determined to leave. In the '60s, she hitchhiked her way to New York City, where she began as a stand-up comic. Tomlin spent time in
Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In
in the early 1970s and then became the first woman to appear solo on
Broadway
in
Appearing Nitely
. From there, it was a string of magazine covers, movies and comedy specials. Her special,
Lily
, earned her multiple Emmys. In 1977, Tomlin was awarded the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement. Her earlier comedy album
This Is a Recording
had already earned her a Grammy. However, she was far from done. Lily continued to make a name for herself as an actress in such '80s hits as
9 to 5
and
The Incredible Shrinking Woman
, a movie written and directed by Tomlin's wife Jane Wagner. The next decade, Tomlin tried her hand at voice acting as Ms. Frizzle in the children's animated show
The Magic Schoolbus
. She also picked up live-action roles in
Murphy Brown
,
Will & Grace
and
The West Wing
. Tomlin has kept busy since the year 2000, appearing in drama
Damages
and, more recently, a comedy for Netflix with her friend Jane Fonda titled
Grace and Frankie
.
