One of the greatest American comic personalities has to be Lily Tomlin in my opinion.
Born Mary Jean Tomlin in 1939, I think she’s up there with the very best female comedians like Joan Rivers and Phyllis Diller and could give any of America’s funny men a serious run for their money too.
She is in fact an actress, comedian, writer, singer and producer and has had a successful career stretching back to the 1960s.
Here are 15 quotes by Lily Tomlin to underline my point.
