Lily Tomlin contemplating marriage with partner after 42 years together

Actress Lily Tomlin confided to E! Online writer Marc Malkin that she and her partner of 42 years are contemplating getting married. The “9 to 5″ star said that she and Jane Wagner, who met in 1971, never thought that they would see legal same sex marriages in the U.S. in their lifetime.

“Jane and I have been together for 42 years,” Tomlin said Monday at The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Pre-Emmy Performers Peer Group reception. “You didn’t think that would happen. It’s pretty remarkable.”

Tomlin, who turns 74 on September 1, said that she and Wagner, 78, began to contemplate tying the knot after seeing how happy getting married made several of their friends.

“You don’t really need to get married, but marriage is awfully nice,” she said. “Everybody I know who got married, they say it really makes a difference. They feel very very happy about it.”

3. I'm old enough I remember her in the high-chair on Laugh In.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

She is a fabulous woman and I hope she and her partner have another 42 years.

Silly? Outrageous?! Totally not "realistic" nor "pragmatic." Guilty as charged.

I wish health, long life, love, and sanity for however many years they have together.
