Lily Tomlin: The Kindle Singles Interview (Kindle Single)
With a hit Netflix series (“Grace and Frankieâ€) and a much buzzed-about feature film (“Grandmaâ€) on the way, Lily Tomlin is all the rage. Of course, the 75-year-old actress and comedian has been turning out unforgettable roles for the better part of five decades, from Ernestine, the condescending telephone operator on “Laugh-In,†to Violet Newstead, the secretary in “9 to 5.†In this wide-ranging, intimate and often hilarious Kindle Singles Interview, Tomlin covers all aspects of her extraordinary life and career, turning a drab Manhattan hotel room into a one-woman show with tales of her childhood in Detroit, her early years in New York, and the origins of her classic characters.
