The Time Lily Tomlin Got Barbara Walters to 'Shut Right Up' About 'Finding the Right Man'


Favorite part of Logan Hill's Rolling Stone interview with the "Grace and Frankie" star:
It wasn't easy for me to come out. When I was doing specials in the '70s, everybody knew that Jane and I were a couple. I had one of our writers say to me, "I think you and Jane should come to work in different cars." I said, "Well, we're not gonna go out and get another car just to drive to work!" I was always nimble, you know. I couldn't betray myself or lie about myself. I was on "The View" not long before I came out. Barbara [Walters] said something like, "You've never been married. Have you just never found the right guy?" I said, "Now, Barbara, you and I both know that's not the reason." And she just shut right up.
The full interview is on newsstands now.


You've come a long way, baby!
