Lily Tomlin on Carson Complete Interview 

Great interview

Love you, then and now.

Wikipedia cites The Advocate:"...1975 album Modern Scream she pokes fun at straight actors who make a point of distancing themselves from their gay and lesbian characters-answering the pseudo-interview question, she replies: 'How did it feel to play a heterosexual? I've seen these women all my life, I know how they walk, I know how they talk...'"

she was so ahead of her time

Note that Lily said "actor," at a time when that wasn't generally applied to anything but men. (I was 15 when this album came out.)
