Lily Tomlin starred in the hit one-woman Broadway show The Search For Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, written by her long-time romantic partner, Jane Wagner. The show won Tomlin a Tony Award.

Though Tomlin is now open about being lesbian, the media doesn't focus on this aspect of her personal life. In fact, many of her fans are unaware of her sexual preference. Tomlin came out in 2000 on a New York City cable-access TV program Gay USA. Actually, Tomlin frequently referred to her romantic partner, Jane Wagner, but avoided saying point-blank that she was, in fact, gay.

In 2003 Tomlin won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
