And I moved her hair back off her neck and I saw her skin and Lily’s skin is so beautiful that I said, “Oh, my God, your skin is so beautiful.” And as said that, I thought, I’m going to be on global television, loving on another woman and her beautiful skin, not in a sexual way, but just friendship, two women loving each other. Because of their friendship, they’re able to become better people.Īnd the other thing is, I remember one day there was a scene where I was commenting on Frankie’s hair, I think. I mean, what the hell do you do? How do you come back from that? And they did. And being able to show that two women who were in their early 70s when that. The trauma-in this case for Grace and Frankie-finding out their husbands of 20 years want to leave them and marry each other-that is such a profound trauma. One is showing that a real betrayal bond can happen. I’d love to know, during seven seasons, what has stood out to you as the legacy of Grace and Frankie ?

In fact, I had very, very little to do with the creation of the scripts as we went along. Grace and Frankie was created by the writers, not by Lily Tomlin and me. What was the process like developing such an iconic show? And to have a 94-episode run is almost unheard-of nowadays. I’d love to hear how you brought where you were in your career and what matters to you to Grace and Frankie. I’m younger now than I was when I was 20. For older people, if you stay curious, you will also stay young for a long time. How do you maintain that curiosity?Ĭurious means you’re going to ask people a lot of questions, it means you’re going to read a lot of books, it means that every situation you’re in, you're going to want to find the positive. That reminds me of something my grandfather and my mother have always told me, which is: There’s nothing more interesting than an interested human.
