4. How wonderful! I adore Lily.
Did not realize she was "out". I know it is common knowledge, I just didn't realize she talked about it.

Good on her!!


And look at her SKIN! My god. I hope I look that good in a few years!

16. Lily has never done the "yup I'm gay" thing.
Armasted Maupin (the writer of the "Tales of the City" books) was a real asshole a few years ago. Lily narrated "Celluloid Closet" and Army got a stick up his ass and bitched about Lily never coming out "officially". He wrote this scathing letter that was printed in one of the gay papers in SF and someone wrote back call his ass on the carpet. Army was good friends with Rock Hudson for years and kept his sexuality a secret. Sometimes my people can be fucking jerks. I lost a lot of respect for him after that.

45. That's what I was thinking. She's 69 years old -
but she has the skin of someone 25 years younger!

47. She's 69?????? Are you serious??!!??!!

WOW. She SERIOUSLY looks even more amazing than I thought.

not too long ago. I used to love that movie when I was a kid. Charles Grodin played her husband.

21. It was at a home in the Bel Air area.
I can not remember the lady's name, but she's a big democratic fundraiser.

There were about 75 people there. Beautiful house. I think we raised about $25,000.

26. We are getting a lot of the great ads against 8 in our Santa Barbara/San Luis Market
And the other great thing is I haven't seen one that is pro 8 yet.

You know the anti 8 ad with the parents defending their daughter
its very effective.

15. Oh I have loved her forever!
From the first "tasteful lady" on Laugh In to her "shrinking woman" (a classic)

Lily Quotes (some written by Jane Wagner):
Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.

Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them.

No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up.

Reality is nothing but a collective hunch.

Why is it when we talk to God we're praying -- but when God talks to us, we're schizophrenic?

If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?

I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.

Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past.

A sobering thought: what if, at this very moment, I am living up to my full potential?

Delusions of grandeur make me feel a lot better about myself.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

I can handle reality in small doses, but as a lifestyle, it's much too confining.

If I'd known what it would be like to have it all, I might have been willing to settle for less.

If life is so meaningless, then why are we always bringing it up?

I worry that the person who thought up Muzak may be thinking up something else.

Infinity is just time on an ego trip.

Instead of working for the survival of the fittest, we should be working for the survival of the wittiest - then we can all die laughing.

Sometimes I feel like a figment of my own imagination.

The ability to delude yourself may be an important survival tool.

The best mind-altering drug is the truth.

This is the operator. Am I speaking to the party to whom I am connected?

We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company.

We're giving jobs to people who would otherwise be out of work if we weren't exploiting cheap labor.

29. Nuisance calls, Miss Tomlin speaking.
You say a man has been phoning with obscene phone calls?

What is his name and address please?

Oh you don't.

Well what does he say to you?

Yes.

Uh huh.

YES!

Wait, wait what was that last part?

He said he was going to what to you?

Is that "F" as "Frank"?

Well I don't blame you for being so upset 'mam.

Making all those promises and not even giving you his NAME!

Hello?

Hello?

What a witty, wise lady! It must have been a great honor to meet her, and take photos with her.

We are all fighting hard! We PFLAGers just participated in a No-On-Prop-8 phonebank last Friday night (www.noonprop8.com)(www.equalityforall.com). We are having another one this Friday night!

At the Emmys I swear Ruth Buzzi didn't look one day older than when Laugh In ended. Swinging handbags must keep one young.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. :)

34. I loved that!!
I met Joanne Woorley about 5 years ago at a resturant. It was her birthday and she was just so funny. When they brought out a cake we all started singing to her. She did that "whooooo" thing she used to do on the show.

Those pics need to be in a frame. I have adored her since I was a tot. The Incredible Shrinking Woman, All of Me (with Steve Martin!), 9 to 5, everything she's done, I've loved.

What an amazing person she is. And I agree, DAMN, her skin is nice. What'd she do, sell her soul to the devil? Her and Helen Mirren both.
