Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and
Jane Fonda took the stage by storm at the 2017 Emmy
Awards!
Just like all of
us, the three icons wanted a
“9 to 5” reunion —
and they definitely brought it. Dolly told
the audience, “Personally I have been waiting for a ‘9 to 5’ reunion ever
since we did the first one!” Then, things got political… Jane
compared their “9 to 5” roles to
current events.
“Well back in 1980, in that movie we refused to
be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot,” Lily
said, which elicited a long round of applause from the A-list
audience.

The musical was nominated for an Oscar, three Golden Globe awards and four Grammys, of which they won two, Best Country Song and Best Country Vocal Performance By A Female.
We need to see these three ladies on the stage more often!
