Lily Tomlin has won several
Tony Awards and
Emmy Awards, plus a
Grammy Award. On her 1975 album
Modern Scream she mocked straight actors who make a point of distancing themselves from their homosexual characters; answering the pseudo-interview question,
How did it feel to play a heterosexual? she replied,
I've seen these women all my life, I know how they walk, I know how they talk ... . Her narration of the documentary
The Celluloid Closet in 1995, a film examining Hollywood's portrayals of homosexuals, was also largely considered a nod to the
open secret of her orientation. [Source:
