Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner to Marry After 42 Years?

[William769]

After 42 years together comedy legend Lily Tomlin and her partner, writer Jane Wagner, may finally say, “I do,” Tomlin told EOnline’s Marc Malkin.

"We're thinking maybe we'll get married,” Tomlin told E. This June the Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional and overturned California’s antigay legislation Prop 8, paving the way for same-sex couples to marry in California and for those married in states where its legal to gain access to federal rights.

"You didn't think that would happen," Tomlin said. She added,"You don't really need to get married, but marriage is awfully nice. Everybody I know who got married, they say it really makes a difference. They feel very very happy about it."

Tomlin kick-started her career on the classic sketch comedy show Laugh In, eventually starring in the modern classics like Nashville, 9 to 5 and I Heart Huckabees.

8. Her act dates back to phone plugs....

One of my favs was when she interrupted someone who was taking a long bath. They were standing there naked on the other end of the line and she said, "I bet you're all prunie."

10. Thats one of my first memories of her.

I just felt a connection to her and no it wasn't through the switchboard.

13. Awesome Talent Lily is!

I was a little girl and she made me laugh out loud. I can imitate that nasely voice just like that then, I point my finger, like that. Gawd, she's so good at that role. Love her. So Happy for her that this country is finally coming alive with all of our humans living their life with their partners. End the discrimination now!

15. What get's me is when someone acts like they disaprove of a same sex couple in bed together....

I ask them, "When you attend an anniversary party for a straight couple do you visualize them in bed together?"

[LittleGirl]

18. exactly!

only the conservatives/gop want to peer inside everybody's bedroom: to make sure they aren't missing something?????

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. For a bunch of supposedly straight as an arrow types they sure have kinky imaginations too....

...and they keep invoking bestiality.

Which makes me wonder what their porn collection contains.
