Lily Tomlin Biography

Lily Tomlin is an actress, comedian, writer, and producer whose career spans over six decades, making her one of the most versatile and enduring performers in the entertainment industry. Tomlin first gained national recognition with her breakout roles on the sketch comedy show "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" from 1969 until 1973. Her memorable characters, including Ernestine, the telephone operator, the precocious five-year-old Edith Ann, and Mrs. Judith Beasley, quickly became cultural icons.

Tomlin's success on television seamlessly transitioned to the big screen, where she earned critical acclaim for her performances in films such as "Nashville," for which she received an Academy Award nomination, "9 to 5," "80 for Brady," and "Moving On." Her ability to blend comedy with poignant social commentary has made her a beloved figure in both comedic and dramatic roles. She has received numerous awards throughout her career, including seven Emmy Awards, a Grammy, and two Tony Awards. Tomlin was also awarded the Kennedy Center Honor in 2014 and the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2017.

Notably, Tomlin starred alongside Jane Fonda in the hit Netflix series "Grace and Frankie," where her portrayal of the free-spirited Frankie Bergstein from 2015-2022 earned her renewed acclaim and introduced her talent to a new generation of fans. She also voiced Ms. Frizzle in the children's animated series "The Magic School Bus" from 1994 to 1997 and reprised her role in its sequel "The Magic School Bus Rides Again" from 2017 to 2020.

In addition to her film and television work, Tomlin has significantly impacted the stage. She co-wrote and starred in the one-woman shows "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe," which debuted on Broadway in 1985 and won her a Tony Award for Best Actress, and "Not Playing with a Full Deck" which premiered in Las Vegas in 2009. These shows, written by her longtime partner Jane Wagner, showcased Tomlin's remarkable range and her ability to embody multiple characters with depth and humor.

Tomlin's contributions to the arts extend beyond her performances. She has been a tireless advocate for various social and political causes, including LGBTQ+ rights, environmental issues, and women's rights. Her activism is intertwined with her work, often using her platform to bring attention to important issues and inspire change. Tomlin married writer Jane Wagner in 2013 after 42 years together.
