“That was my idea,” she says with a laugh.
“I came in saying, ‘Uh, wait, hold on.
I’m not 80.’
I’m going to be proud to be 80.
But I’m not there yet.”
“Rita [Moreno]said, ‘And neither am I. I’m 90.'”
[Note: Moreno is now 91.]
“That must have rounded us out to like a nice 85,” Tomlin quips.
“They said, ‘You know what?
We better make that a legitimate change here.’
But they should have done it on Rita’s too.”
That’s okay, we still can’t deny the fact that we like her.
80 For Bradyhits theaters Feb. 3.
