LILY TOMLIN AND JANE WAGNER – 46 YEARS
Becoming one of the most recognizable faces of comedy wouldn’t have been easy, but Mary Jean-Tomlin has achieved just that. She was cast in her breakout role in the 1970s, a variety show called Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. Apart from stand-up comedy, Jean-Tomlin has also been successful as a film actress and a Broadway actress. She has received nominations for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for her work in the industry.
Jean-Tomlin met writer Jane Wagner in 1972. The couple was together for about 42 years before they finally walked down the aisle in a private ceremony held in Los Angeles. In 2013, they worked together on the documentary An Apology to Elephants, which was written by Wagner and narrated by Tomlin. The project may have required some loans and investments, but it turned out to be a success.
