How Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda Keep The Love Alive After 40 Years of Friendship

[@bjdefilippo447]

My best friend and I have our 40th friendiversary this fall. There's nothing like a friend who's been with you through the best and worst of what life can throw at you. We're really blessed.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

As a woman over 55 I can not see either of these women without having such profound respect .. not only are they still quite beautiful but both are refreshingly honest and funny and obviously know how to put Stephen in his place haha 😂

[@bruincatjove24]

Leave him alone. He is just doing his job!

[@rdan6907]

I'm in my 50s it is time for them to stop doing interviews.

[@nathhenn8966]

Well one of them is a traitor to her country. So that will be Zero respect please.

[@johnconway6976]

Shame on you! Chances are some of your relatives are Vietnam vets, and they are not fond of Jane. ☠️

[@josephinethornton3823]

​@@nathhenn8966 I love that you think you know more than McCain did who was an actual POW and spoke up for her. He looked into it because he was sick of this nonsensical drivel but hey go on with your happy self.

They are real life Grace and Frankie!

[@Tao_Tology]

I still love that that show happened by accident.

[@candywarmuth6241]

I want to be their friend. Both give 100% in their careers and activism. They fight for all of is. If all of us fought half as hard we could truly change the world. Remarkable win fior Greenpeace. Thank you. Love everything you both do. I've been with you from boots and Edith Ann. Much love.

9 to 5 was 1 of the best movies ever. Thank you to those women who make aging beautiful & fun!

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Born late September, 1949, coming of age during the late 50's, 60's, early 70's, still working on this, Ms. Tomlin and Ms. Fonda loom an order of magnitude in my life. Each represent unique threads of cultural development during momentous eras ushering new paradigms into being. Countless millions continue to benefit from their contributions, me included. This interview has me shaking my head in disbelief I have the privilege to be alive. To have gone from the OG of screensaver (test pattern) for TV to streaming favorites from a handheld device on a beach in the Caribbean boggles my mind! Thank you ladies. Thank you Stephen, you, your team have delivered countless giggles, guffaw, unimaginable joy. Best wishes, health, joy, wellbeing.

[@janvanveelen]

As someone born in 1949 I do not share your adoration of Jane Fonda. She let herself being used by the Vietcong against the U.S. and American soldiers who died in Vietnam fighting for their government (not for the Americans as the war was a political idiocy)

[@dellacalfee]

@@janvanveelen someone had to do it. That you can dismiss her life’s accomplishments tells me you are a man. Am I wrong?

[@backpackbacon8659]

@@dellacalfeeyou know if the US had enough balls to actually declare war on Vietnam. She would’ve been hung for her actions. She’s a fucking trader.

[@josephinethornton3823]

​@@janvanveelen then you haven't listened to her and John McCain talk about it. You heard about it and decided how you felt about it and you never looked into it anymore, did you? That question is rhetorical because I already know you haven't due to your comment.

🎉 Jane and Lilly ... Such a delightful surprise to see you guys together. This was a most joyful interview. I laughed ... I cried, I fell in love with you both all over again, just like millions of others that now look to you both as a Dynamic Duo Creating Good ✌️😎😇👍 Everywhere you go. The applause was genuine, spectacular, heartfelt, and many had tears in their eyes from remembering all the joy you guys have brought into our lives over the years. You have given millions of families many bonding moments 💃💕 🕺💙 I still remember seeing Cat Balou with my parents , at the drive in from the back seat with my brother Jeff and sister Patty. Thanks for helping make a memory that is more precious to ponder the older I become. They are all gone now. But they loved you guys. Mom and dad marveled about my story of how I met Lee Marvin while fixing Elkie Summers Swimming pool in the the early 80s. Most Intersting story there. He never said a word but spoke with his eyes, as I followed him to the pool equipment he was directly followed by 5 dogs lined up behind him from tallest to smallest. Was odd in itself 🤔 After that call, I actually went to fix lillys pool ... Which if I remember right, was more of a pond than a pool 🤔 Yet the Circuit Breakers were hugh brass knife type switches encased in glass. 😳🤔 They were comically big, but beautiful, though it looked like a prop out of a Munster movie, or something like Thomas Edison would have installed . Lilly was not home I did not know if that was the real pool circuit breakers. So I left to come back the next day, but my next stop was John Beluchi and Dan Akroyds rental house...(Too Long of a story for here). Life started to change 🙂Lol. When I met Lee Marvin, he never said a word but seems to have spoke with his eyes 👀 ... But it was still very interesting ... 😶 Your story of not realizing your new film was a comedy reminded me of how Cat Balou started out as serious film then Lee Marvin goofed around so much that it started turning into a comedy... Would love to hear you talk about that experience one day 🤔✌️🙂 Looking forward to your next Fire Drill Friday Ms Jane ( The first Friday of the month) ✌️😎🥁💕🎷🎶🎸 🤗🙏🌎👍🌲🌲🌲 Bongo Dave - Good Happens / Love Shall Prevail
