I don't know how Netflix had the notion that it was going to work, but they did. It was broad-based enough, or whatever the story was. And mothers and grandmothers brought their granddaughters and their kids. I mean, young people came to the show and then brought their grandmothers or their mothers. It was amazing to us during "Grace And Frankie," that we had such a diverse audience. Jane and I just came off this seven-year series about older women. TOMLIN: Well, I mean, if you looked at us, you would think so. RASCOE: Are there enough scripts out there for women in their 60s, 70s and 80s? Is it getting better? I didn't want to be, like - have Rita turn to me and say, and that goes for you, too. TOMLIN: So I didn't want to be accused of that. And then Rita said to her, yeah, but I was just dancing down. And Rita's, like, such a dancer and has been a dancer for many decades. Sally said about - you know, about Rita, she said she was, like, all hepped up and - because she was, like, keeping up with Rita. TOMLIN: And it was better if I was in the back. But, I was just - I was unsure about what we were doing at the stadium at that time. TOMLIN: I - although I could have probably kept up with them. RASCOE: What, like, did you - what was it like doing the choreography for this? I did notice in one of the dance numbers, you were, like, in the back, not up front. ![]() RASCOE: I mean, on a lighter topic, there was a lot of dancing in this movie. And it's not so far from the reality of where we are. I used to say to Jane, well, I wonder which one of us will die first. It's like, you know, you've lived more of your life than you have left. TOMLIN: In a way, women of our age are dealing with that all the time, in some peripheral arm's length way. RASCOE: What was that like, having kind of art and life intersect? And, you know, recently we found out that Jane Fonda was, you know, dealing with cancer in real life. RASCOE: You know, the thing that brought the women - the four women - together around football in the movie was your character's chemotherapy treatment. And now women have more freedom, and they're - they seem to be really into that kind of trip. Women always congregated and - they were left at home to care for the children, to cook and harvest food. They do have that kind of interest in one another, as opposed to the male friendship that is not as supportive, is not as emotional. And now women are coming around to being their true selves. TOMLIN: I think it's kind of a natural impulse that somehow has gotten corrupted over time in the competitive society we live in. RASCOE: What does this movie tell us about what it means for women to support each other? They look each other in the eye when they're friends. And I saw an interview where Jane Fonda had this beautiful saying where she said, you know, men sit beside each other, but women sit across from each other. RASCOE: And what I - what stood out to me about the film is not only - you had a lot of fun, obviously, but it's really a story about the friendship between these women. They might arrest me or put me in some home. ![]() What do you feel like you can take from Tom Brady for your life? RASCOE: In the movie, you play four friends who are trying to get to the Super Bowl. ![]() RASCOE: The other three friends are played by the great Rita Moreno, Jane Fonda and Sally Field. We're going to the Super Bowl to enjoy men the way the Romans did - sweaty, piled on top of one another, tight pants. LILY TOMLIN: (As Lou) And mope around? No. JANE FONDA: (As Trish) Maybe I'll just stay home. In the film, Lily Tomlin played one of four friends trying to make their dream of seeing the football star play that game come true. The movie revisited one of his greatest wins - the 2017 Super Bowl. Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL earlier this year, but it didn't stop him from appearing as himself in the movie "80 For Brady" back in February. It's the end of the year, and we're looking back at some of our favorite interviews from 2023.
