Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda worked together on the 1980 film “Nine to Five” and have remained friends ever since. Now the two have reunited for the Netflix comedy “Grace and Frankie.”
As Tomlin told Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson, working on the show with Fonda “was natural, it was fun. We looked forward to it, we had fun every day.” Fonda added, “I felt lucky.”
The show has been renewed for a second season and Lily Tomlin has been nominated for an Emmy for playing Frankie. Today we revisit our May conversation with the pair.
