The Untold Truth Of Lily Tomlin
Вставка

- Lily Tomlin is one of the great American comics from the mid-to-late 20th century who's still living and active today. A dynamic force on stage, in film, and television (particularly in sketch comedy), Tomlin's diverse talents are well known, and these (along with her off kilter comic timing and natural charm) have as much to do with her longevity as any other factor. Despite living a very public life as a performer, however, many details about Lily Tomlin's private life have never been explicitly shared by the artist herself, though observers have been able to fill in the gaps with some accuracy. This is the untold truth of Lily Tomlin.

What are your thoughts on Lily Tomlin?
Her great romance with John Travolta? Both were gay and covers.
She’s a legend, an icon, a role model and a huge inspiration. Also to young people like me!
She's the best in all she does!
GOD gave her life to teach and remind others... Laughing, sense of humor, and loving and accepting yourself is what matters the most
LIly is a NATIONAL TREASURE 👍🥰🤩
I have watched (and loved) Lily Tomlin ever since I saw her on Laugh-in. Her telephone operator always had me in stitches. "One ringy-dingy, two ringy-dingy... giggle, snort."
In my opinion, she, as much as many of her contemporaries, deserves a special Oscar for lifetime achievement because of how much she has changed every venue she's ever appeared in. She will always be a guiding light to those who just want to be themselves and excel.
I was fortunate to watch Lily's performance with the All Nurse Band on SNL. I haven't found it since then. She sang a torch song draped on the piano. Gorgeous performance
Lily and the All-Nurse Band performed "St James Infirmary".
I can't find any video clip of the number, but someone posted the audio on YT. Search for "Lily Tomlin SNL St James Infirmary".
There might be a video clip of it on some SNL collection. It was in 1975, the first season.
I love that she put her talents above everything else. Her private life is no one's business. As a public figure, she obviously wants people to appreciate her body of work and nothing else. Private life stays private.
Shouldn't it be that way?
I love Lily in everything she does. Her zest for life and love of laughter just permeate her performances! She brings out the poet in me. Bless you, gracious lady!
I love this woman ever since I saw her on Laugh In when I was a child. I love her in Grace and Frankie I am sad that that show it over. So sad two great Actresses had to come to end in a greta show of what life is really like, disfunctional families we have today.
I agree, I have put off watching the final few episodes of Grace and Frankie because I know how heartbroken I will be once I have finished the series once and for all. (Eventually got around to watching it though because I love the show too much to miss out on it haha!)
@@rabbit5000 - I use to watch the show with my partner, who recently passed unexpectedly. It’s only been a few months, I don’t know, if watching the show will be healing ❤️🩹 or too painful?
Waking up to this video, this morning might be a sign from beyond or perhaps it’s simply the algorithms at work. I’ve already cried myself out, as I continue to push forward. God I’m grateful for Lily Tomlin 💜 We do need more content for mature audiences
💯‼️
@@ask4theupgrade359 I am so sorry for this most painful loss. I hope someday you will feel a sense of peace. Take good care of yourself.
I love Lilly Tomlin. Everyone loves Lilly Tomlin and I’ve never once heard a negative comment on Lilly Tomlin. She’s a role model for my 18 year old daughter!!!!
I saw her on Broadway in The search for intelligent life in the universe when I was 20, no set or costumes just her, so funny she was brilliant, I went by myself as I was visiting friend’s in NY from Australia, so it was especially exciting for me having already been a fan of hers, but never thinking I would be able to see her live because Australia was a 25hr flight from Los Angeles then as we had to stop to refuel twice , Australia to New Zealand, then Hawaii then LA, on one trip back we even had to have an unscheduled stop in New Caledonia due to a head wind we needed more fuel to finish the last dash across the Pacific Ocean. Now you can do it direct. But I have loved her work ever since I first saw her in the 70’s.
3:12 is the scene that garnered the nomination, in my opinion. she didn't speak, she was observing a singer. but she conveyed amazing energy in that restraint. I have never seen another actress achieve a similar moment and I am an avid movie goer.
Lily Tomlin is genuine and genius. And while she makes me laugh so hard I want to pee, she has given me many bits of truth I love to pass on, such as "Why is it when we talk to God we're said to be praying, but when God talks to us we're schizophrenic?"
TMI
I've followed Lily's career from the beginning. She is truly one of a kind. One thing I didn't know was her relationship with Lorne Michaels. Thanks for putting together this gr8 piece.
Lily Tomlin is a very great actress & comedian. I've always loved her.
I have loved her since 9 to 5. I was 11 when I first saw her and mam she just is incredible. Very happy she's had a happy life. And glad she and her wife can live their lives now in the open. Must have been so hard to hide her happiness because of prejudice. And yet through it all she never lost touch with what she does, who she is, and her creative genuis.
Have adored Lily since her Laugh-In days. Ernestine, Edith Ann, Susie Sorority and her various one-liners (dead-panned or the "excitable woman"!). Saw Search for Life while in development (in Philly) and she didn't need costumes or sets - she created them in your mind, with Wagner's writing & her stage presence. Heck, I even liked that silly movie with Midler "Big Business" - playing twins w/different personalities ain't easy! So much funny and mother wit over the decades. Brava!
She has a sparkle in her eye when she smiles that is so rare. Love her 💞
Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner make such a beautiful couple, and together over 50 years that's incredible
She is so wonderful. This video didn't mention Big Business, in which she starred alongside Bette Midler. An absolutely wonderful performance by both of them. One of my faves when I need laughter. 💜
Lily was nominated again in Grandma!! Lily is an amazing talent and beautiful human being!!
I have loved Lilly Timlin since the 70s, and I was introduced to her through her SNL characters. She truly is the wonderful person I thought she was.
I don't believe she was ever on snl...she was on LaughIn before snl existed. .but not snl I watched both from their beginnings till now
LOVE that woman. She's amazingly talented and a really good human being, as well. That's a rare combination in Hollywood.....especially the "really good human being" part. Most of 'em have sold their souls for fame. Not Lilly. Thank you Lilly!!!
I've loved Lily since having a copy of "This is a Recording" sent to me from the States back when it was first recorded. She and her wife are just the best. Love to them both from Manchester UK xxx
I absolutely loved her in 9 to 5
And in that movie with Steve Martin where her soul flies out into Steve Martin's body.
That was a hilarious film!
All of me. Loved that film too such a great team with Steve Martin and their great physicality.
9to5. Lily to co-worker: "I killed the boss! You don't think they'll fire me for a thing like that?"
I loved her line in that, "I would rather buy a candle than curse the darkness", lol
"If the formula for water is H2O, is the formula for ice cubes H20 Squared ? " funny woman
Loved the Dick Cavette interview….history!
I LOVE HER ! Lilly was a staple in our home growing up as a hilarious comedian, Beautiful and warm memories of Good Times that Lilly was a part of, in a way she is " POETIC FAMILY "
Nashville has never left my top 10 since it was released in '75 (huge Robert Altman fan), and I grew_up watching Edith-Anne and Ernestine ("one ringy-dingy") on Laugh-In!
She has been part of my life's background-noise for most of my rides around the sun, and my life is better for it. I have both affection and admiration for her. May she live forever!!
(well, until she starts to smell bad anyway).
Lily Tomlin's mother, Lillie Mae Tomlin, was from my hometown in Paducah, KY. Mother Tomlin was once made a Duchess of Paducah, Kentucky, and an honorary Kentucky Colonel in the 1980s. I've always, ALWAYS, loved anything Lily was in. Started watching her as a child when she was on Laugh-In (I still do "that's the truth, Pthbbpt"). And from small but endearing bit parts and walk-ons in The Player, NCIS and The X-Files to fabulous roles in All of Me, Grace and Frankie, 9 to 5 and the loveable Big Business...Not to mention her genius on kids shows...she's made a name for herself as a beautifully strong, independent woman. And I pray that her star is nowhere near its zenith. Shine on, Lady... shine on!
I adore our Lilly!!! Especially while she stood up and walked off the set as shown in this video...so proud of her zest, joy and honesty in her years of lifting our spirits. I love you Lilly.
Women are always offended. There's jokes to actual insults at men all the time. She herself has made jokes about men, but it's okay to have double standards and hypocrisy when you're a women.
An absolute STAR in her own right!!! She is a graceful lady who is quite accomplished in all performing...be it comedian, actress and in support of women in general. It doesn't matter what her life choices are...we all have them.
She still graces the screen in Grace and Frankie, the best Netflix has to offer. Sad that they decided to cancel them ...bye
Thank you this was so eloquently respectfully admiringly done. I know if Lilly & Jane were to see your work of them they would be very honored. Lilly n Jane are a little older than I....we are close enough in age that We are the Women of That Era & how wonderful the world loves That Era. Many thanks loved every moment Bless You Who Made This Video & Sharing it w/Us
I also loved her in the film called All of me, l think Lily fans will love it...l don't think it was mentioned here.
All of Me with steve martin is still very funny. Also Flirting with Disaster.
Don't care what her sexuality is,or anyone else's for that matter.She's brilliant.
Such a huge favorite of mine !! Funny funny funny
The first time I saw Lily was in a film called, The Incredible Shrinking Woman. I was just a kid. I loved it and I've loved her ever since.❤❤
She’s a wonderful lady! Excellent actress and better human being!!!❤️
In these clips, Travolta & lily both look alike!!!
They do, don't they! I also noticed that.
Lily was beyond awesome as Violet Newstead in 9 to 5. I have always felt that Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda played the supporting roles.
nice upload!
💕👍🏼👍🏼
Lilly and Jane are such a sweet couple. It`s crazy to think that they had to keep it a secret even if it was an open secret, coming out was still a risk for too long.
I just wish I could have that much hair at their age! I love them both! 💖
Loved "Big Business" movie with Bette Midler -- hilarious! Grace & Frankie is phenomenal!
So happy to see her and Jane together!
9 to 5 is a classic, but I also loved her in All of Me and The Incredible Shrinking Woman! Grace and Frankie is amazing too...
I was in Vick and Bills in Knoxville, I looked up and saw Lily and Jane. Our host introduced us, and I will never be the same, my favorite star on earth ordered a ribeye sandwich and went out the back . what a wonderful night. they were genuine and charming.
I have loved every thing she has been in. She is so fantastic from Laugh In to Grace and Frankie. I have loved her all this time. I love her smile her beingness...she is just such a wonderful person. I wish she could have come out but she had her reasons. So good she had such a great relationship all these years with her wife. She is a writer..perfect match!
I can guarantee you this: If a woman was sitting there and cracked a joke that her husband was her favorite pet, it would have gotten a massive laugh. She would even go on to say how she'd never break up with him because she couldn't be bothered to TRAIN A NEW ONE. Those jokes are still made today.
EXACTLY! Women can give it, but can't take it.
Because ownership of wonen is historical everywhere AND STILL OWNED in many parts of the world. When no one is OWNED then it will be a 'douvle standard '
Love me some Lilly....went to the same high school (Denby) ...had an affair with the lighting director a friend of hers with the movie Nashville...shopped at JL Hudson's as she did as a child....saw her live in Nashville in her one woman show with my then lover who dumped me later... we have a whole history of six degrees... what an amazing talent...
Oh my gosh! One of my favorite earliest memories of her - doing character “Edith Ann”!!!!….. 5 1/2 yrs old”! Hahahaha! Ive always loved her individuality to characters she plays- and her unique way of making you laugh- even if you dont want to! She hits home w everyone in a way!
She definitely has talent. Seems like a sweetheart.
I absolutely adore Lilly Tomlin and she brought great smiles to us endearing losing our father with "Edith Ann an down her phone operater skits " Thanks
I liked Moment by Moment. I've always heard her talk about Jane & now I finally see her face. I love Lily & her characters she reminds me of Whoopi in that way. I love how her & Jane stick up for their beliefs.
7:28 - Dolly Par-in. Geezus. It's Dolly 'Par-tin' With a T. Aargh.
AI voice, this will get worse as AI takes over
I first saw her in the movie The Incredible Shrinking Woman Love that movie😍
I love Lily,a great and funny actress 🌹
I love her!🙂❤
One "Ringie Dingie - 2 - "Ringie Dingie ...I am a baby boomer and i loved her.... such a talent.
I loved her Edith Ann.
This is hands down my favorite comedian/actor of all time. 💕
At the 1st interview this man also said "she owns me too" refering to his wife and then read a poem about them titled "2lovers"
Absolutely love Lily! ❤️
Lily Tomlin and her partner Jane are both national treasures
Travolta ! was gorgeous.
Awesome lady !
I loved her in that sitcom with Reba McIntyre but forgot the name of it. It wasn’t “Reba” that is on in syndication.
Is it Malibu Country?
Please consider coming to or around Marine Corps base or anywhere in N.C.
I loved “moment by moment”
An absolute queen!
I watched that episode,! Holey f#@k I'm old🤣
I think Lily Tomlinson is amazing. I saw her live in Denver for.her one woman show. I think she takes things to serious, as in clip with Cavett.
True LEGEND in my eyes. Love her she’s amazing. From Russia
He thought his request would fire the producers up to get her back on stage.
I've always thought Lily Tomlin was one of the best actresses ever.
She is great!
I love the name.
awesome beingxxxxxxxxx
She's amazing!! Loved her since laugh in and that huge rocker routine. Beautiful woman. Thank you Lily! And your spouse.
And that's the truth! 😄
2 women I have always enjoyed...Lily Tomlin and Chloris Leachman.
One Ringy Dingy😁
I've always loved Lilly Tomlin
I liked Lily. She made me laugh.
I thought John & Lily were related when I was young.
I only clicked on this story because I saw John Travolta next to this woman! VERY misleading to say the least.
Love Her
Lovvvve her . She is amazing .
Lily is a flat out genius
Love Lily Tomlin ❤
Love lilly
Regarding "Moment by Moment," I wrote a screenplay that Travolta wanted to do and gave to his managers, Lemonde-Zeter; they in turn gave my script to The Stigwood Organization who turned it down, choosing instead the disaster that became "Moment by Moment." There was no sexual chemistry between the two gay leads. No wonder this "love story" was a huge flop.
well, one of the two is confirmed, the other is a rumor. do you think it will always be a rumor?
@@jv-ep2tc Not sure, but my experience speaking with John Travolta told me that he is a very good, modest person with loads of talent. I actually wish them both continued success.
Congratulations I'm happy for you and I love you I love you show I love you jokes and God bless you and your wife
No secrets here.
LILY ROCKS! I
Crazy.......
Love her
I love her .
I know. Everything. Just knowing. Because step mother's
lily and jane are the exception and anyone else who feels they can 'relate' to both will always be a million miles off point and a lifetime too late.
lily and jane set the precedence on how to live the 'alternative' lifestyle but the ensuing legal-loving-rainbow flag-flying mob got it so wrong. being gay etc, etc is now a product for sale and that is so wrong on EVERY LEVEL.
Wow. I’m so glad she didn’t go public. She’s a classy lady. Doesn’t push herself on the public. That’s a wonderful thing.
It's not like she was saving the whales or forests by not coming out. It was to keep her income high. I say this as a fan, btw. It's just truth. There was and still is money and work to lose by coming out. That's why there's not one single openly gay bankable name-above-the-title film star.
I watched because of a young John Travolta .... the rest is sad
Narrator: pronounce those double "t's" consistently - PLEASE! They are there for a reason. It's your job, isn't it?
I'm assuming these two are at Gitmo now...
