Lily Tomlin, one of America's foremost comediennes, continues to venture across an ever-widening range of media, starring in television, theater, motion pictures, animation, and video. Throughout her extraordinary entertainment career, Tomlin has received numerous awards, including: six Emmys; a Tony for her one woman Broadway show, Appearing Nitely; a second Tony as Best Actress, Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics’ Circle Award for her one woman performance in Jane Wagner’s The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe; a CableAce Award for Executive Producing the film adaptation of The Search; a Grammy for her comedy album, This is a Recording as well as nominations for her subsequent albums Modern Scream, And That's the Truth, and On Stage; and two Peabody Awards--the first for the ABC television special, "Edith Ann’s Christmas: Just Say Noël," and the second for narrating and executive producing the HBO film, The Celluloid Closet.
Tomlin rose to national prominence in the early 70’s with her characterizations of Ernestine, the irascible telephone operator, and Edith Ann, the devilish six year old, as a cast member of the top-rated TV series "Laugh In." On film, Tomlin made her debut as Linnea, a gospel singer and mother of two deaf children in Robert Altman's Nashville (1975); her memorable performance was nominated for an Academy Award, and both the New York Film Critics and National Society of Film Critics voted Tomlin Best Supporting Actress. She has since gone on to perform in numerous television and film roles, including the NBC series, "The West Wing," playing President Bartlett’s assistant, Debbie Fiderer--a role for which she received a 2003 Screen Actors Guild nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series.
A collaboration between Lily Tomlin, Jane Wagner, Allee Willis, and the zany and creative, BUBBLES the artist has produced the magical Lily Tomlin website. Tomlin’s entire career in art, text, photos and videos can be found at www.lilytomlin.com.
