I had gotten tickets to see Lily Tomlin for us at Christmas. Last night we went and boy was it worth it. I have always enjoyed her. She was the one that I was allowed to watch when my Dad would watch Laugh In, if she was not on Mom would tell us to go play in our rooms. But even Mom would call us to watch Edith Ann and Ernestine. Plus every movie I remember her in I liked her performance, even the incredible shrinking woman. I didn’t really like the movie but liked Lily in it. One of my all time favs would be All Of Me, I just loved her and Steve Martin. Back in the bowl.
But I have to admit she wasn’t on the list of those I have to see before I die. You know the one “I’ll just die if I don’t see …. !!!” She now is. I know I have seen her. Yea!!! I don’t have to die.
On the screen she is so good with makeup and costumes that I didn’t really see it until last night how she can truly change her facial features and voice to be someone else. My god she is good. And funny, intelligent, witty, and agile. I want to know just how she keeps herself so young. I want on that train.
She even tried out new material on us.
and oh by the way we were in row A……..take that.
