#15: Lily Tomlin
Age: 86
Long before comedy welcomed eccentric women, Lily Tomlin was already rewriting the rules. From Laugh-In to Nashville to Grace and Frankie, she built a career on sharp observation, fearless character work, and humor that slipped social commentary inside big laughs.

Away from the punchlines, Tomlin lives a deliberately full creative life. She continues acting, supports progressive causes, and collaborates closely with her longtime partner Jane Wagner. Thoughtful, mischievous, and deeply respected, she’s celebrated not just for longevity, but for never sanding down her edge.
