Lily Tomlin thinks of a different time in Hollywood.

The 79-year-old actress was spotted on the Ellen DeGeneres show with her own grace and Frankie, a galaxy of Jane Fonda-on Tuesday-and was asked by DeGeneres about the reports, in fact that she flatly rejected the ability to expire as gay on the cover of time magazine in 1975. DeGeneres famously turned out more than 20 years later on the cover of 1997, which said, " Yeah, I'm gay."

Tomlin approved, in fact she was offered the cover, and even took a negative reaction degenerates received when it came out. 

- I got a call from PAT Kingsley, my publicist ... she told me, in fact, that time will give me cover, if I go out," - recalled Tomlin. "It was a difficult conclusion, as a result of this I fell on the side, probably later this , in fact that you have stretched, probably common sense. And my God, all this time was spent, for example actually that I made the decision, actually that elementary I won't act in their game."

"And I wanted to be taken for my concert ... Looking back, I can see that it wasn't worth it, " she continued to sharpen.

Tomlin is married to his own wife, writer Jane Wagner, since 2013. Couple together for almost 50 years. 

"Yeah, but that was banned," she said, in the end, marrying later decades together.

That period, when the Fund asked about her own life, 81-year-old actress said: "I intend to expire. In case they cover for me, I'll get out."
