I haven't seen most of her work, but I just saw I heart Huckabees and I loved her in that movie. So funny but lets you exercise your brain too if you feel like it.
She's amazing. I've seen every one of these movies! I love her in Big Business. That was one of my fav's as a kid.
Love it. A great actress. Happy B-day Lily.
An American treasure. I'm waiting for her Kennedy Center award. It shouldn't be long.
LOOOVE her in Flirting with Disaster, my favorite comedy of the 90's. So much rapid fire wit, you have to watch it multiple times to catch them all. "Just listen to her, she's an excellent guide." She sure is!
Every new Lily Tomlin movie is an event. Been a fan since I was in elementary school, watching Ms. Frizzle on The Magic School Bus. But I haven't seen Flirting with Disaster, and that is unacceptable.
I'm always pro-actor when it comes to hosting the Oscars, and Lily would be fantastic! Comedienne with acting talent.
I think my favorite performance of hers is probably 9 to 5, though I think she's very underrated in Short Cuts. She's so brilliant in that.
