Tomlin Trailblazer
The Hollywood Museum is a magical place filled with oodles of memorabilia and special theme events. A few weeks ago, I told you about their seventh annual exhibit Real to Reel: Portrayals and Perceptions of LGBTs in Hollywood. This exhibit kicks off Pride Month in LA, and I was thrilled to be at the gala opening, where some special awards were given out. Most notably, Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner were named Hollywood Trailblazers. The honor made the duo chuckle. “Neither one of us has ever had a good sense of direction, so being perceived to be blazing a trail we find very flattering – it implies we knew where we were going!” Other notables at the event were Fran Drescher, Sam Harris, Lisa Vanderpump, Tyler Henry, Judy Tenuta, Roslyn Kind, Kate Linder, Kevin Spirtas, Anita and Bonnie Pointer, Dawn Wells, and the rest.
