The personal and professional partnership of Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner is celebrated in the film series
“Two Free Women,” running Sept. 12-16 at Lincoln Center. The retrospective includes a film of Tomlin per-
forming Wagner’s one-woman play “The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe,” from 1991, and
a documentary by Nick Broomfield and Joan Churchill, from 1986, on the rehearsals for the play’s Broadway
opening. Tomlin’s movie acting is also spotlighted, in screenings of “Nashville,” “9 to 5,” and “The Late Show.”
