As Susannah, Tina Fey’s mother in ADMISSION, Lily Tomlin plays a sharp-tongued seventies feminist who has seen – and done – it all. Of course, for a comic and actress who has been on the cutting edge of television, comedy, film and stage, the same could be said for Tomlin herself.

Slideshow Lily Tomlin's Comic Cast of Characters

From her days on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In to her brilliant turn in ADMISSION, Lily Tomlin proves to be a fine connoisseur of character. With our video slideshow, we pay tribute to some of her greatest comic concoctions.

people in film Paul Rudd

In ADMISSION, Paul Rudd plays the head of an alternative high school who ultimately teaches Tina Fey a thing or two about life. Both humorous and human, Rudd brings to his character the exquisite niceness he has refined in his many comedy roles.
