Lily Tomlin Explains Why She Turned Down Coming Out on Time Magazine

Comedy legend Lily Tomlin explained to Ellen why she turned down an offer from Time magazine to be on the cover of a 1975 issue in which she would have come out as gay. Plus, Lily and her "Grace and Frankie" co-star Jane Fonda chat about a sequel to their beloved movie "9 to 5," and what Lily plans to do for her 80th birthday later this year.

When I was young and setting the table for supper the news came on the radio. The announcer shared that Lily Tomlin was asked if she was a lesbian and she did not deny it. That was a very big deal in that era. She was at her height--she had her own show. Since then she has been the standard bearer for integrity for me. She plays it down but she's very very courageous and always a hero to me.

She meant that if you leave your Mac computer or any computer on it can spy on you through the camera (whoever is on the receiving end of the camera). The same goes for your tv, smartphone, Alexa etc. In nutshell be careful with all those electronic devices around you.
