Lily Tomlin And Jane Wagner

While studying to get her college degree, Lily Tomlin realized her passion for performing and acting. Her earlier work in the business often consisted of stand-up comedy gigs and stage performances. Soon after, Lily gained widespread recognition for her role in Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. Thanks to her appearance on the show, she later got to work in other noteworthy projects like Nashville, All of Me, 9 to 5, I Heart Huckabees, and, most recently, Grace and Frankie.

Along the way, the actress-comedian found her better half, Jane Wagner. Throughout their careers, the couple has collaborated on more than a few projects, with Jane as the writer and Lily as the performer. One such title that arguably contains Jane’s most iconic performance to date is the Broadway production, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, which also earned her a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Play.
