Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin: A hilarious celebration of lifelong female friendship

A hilarious celebration of lifelong female friendship

Legendary duo Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have been friends for decades. In a raw, tender and wide-ranging conversation hosted by Pat Mitchell, the three discuss longevity, feminism, the differences between male and female friendship, what it means to live well and women's role in future of our planet. "I don't even know what I would do without my women friends," Fonda says. "I exist because I have my women friends."

Close bonds between women do more than offer comfort—they actively improve physical and mental health. Studies show that women with strong female friendships are less likely to develop impairments as they age, and even live five years longer than men on average. These connections foster emotional honesty, resilience, and a sense of shared purpose. As women age and join forces, their collective power becomes a vital force for progress and equality.
