Tomlin, Lily. (b. 1939). Signed book cover.
Signed cover of Jane Wagner, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (New York: HarperCollins, 1990), the printed text of the one-woman stage show starring Lily Tomlin. Cut from the book. Inscribed by Tomlin to verso. 8 x 5.25 inches (20.3 x 13.2 cm). In very good condition.
"The show, Tomlin's second Broadway billing as a solo performer, follows Tomlin as she performs various characters or persona, all while wearing simple black pants and a white blouse. The show appears disparate at first, but becomes unified under the sensibility of the opening "bag lady" persona as the performance progresses. The show is often praised or considered controversial for its feminist material, most notably the compressed history of the feminist movement offered in Act 2. For her stage performance, Tomlin won a Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics' Circle awards." (Wikipedia) Jane Wagner is Tomlin's wife (at the time of this show, domestic partner).
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
