Hey there, friends. Let’s dive right into it. Lily Tomlin, the legendary actress known for her sharp wit and unforgettable performances, has always been an intriguing figure in Hollywood. Recently, she shared some personal insights about her life choices, particularly why she decided not to have children. And let me tell you, it’s a story worth hearing.
Why Lily Tomlin Chose Not to Be a Mom
In a candid conversation with comedian Kevin Nealon on his YouTube series Hiking With Kevin, Lily Tomlin, now 80 years young, opened up about her reasons for not becoming a mother. She joked about her zodiac sign, saying, "I’m a Virgo, so I should be a very good mother." But then she revealed the real reason: "I look at my behavior, and I don’t think I could have done it. I have no patience." Her longtime friend Jane Fonda agrees, often telling Lily, "You’ve got to develop some patience." It’s a funny yet honest admission from someone who’s spent decades in the spotlight.
A Glimpse into Lily's Temperament
Now, let’s talk about Lily’s temper. In the same episode, which aired on Kevin’s YouTube channel on December 12, she joked, "Well, that’s an unfortunate link." She was referring to her reputation for having a quick temper. This led her to reminisce about a heated argument she had with director David O. Russell while filming I Heart Huckabees. The disagreement got so intense that it was even caught on tape. Lily admitted, "Did he yell at me? I yelled at him too. But he’s a good friend. I lost it with good cause." She later regretted the incident, especially after realizing it had been recorded. "I said a lot of vulgar stuff," she confessed.

Interestingly, despite the intensity of the moment, Lily expressed a desire for someone special to have witnessed it. "I wish my mother was alive so I could have played it for her," she said with a mix of humor and nostalgia. It’s moments like these that remind us how deeply personal and human even the most iconic figures can be.
Revisiting Collaborations with David O. Russell
Despite the heated exchange, Lily remains open to working with David O. Russell again. "I would work with him again in a heartbeat," she revealed. This speaks volumes about her professionalism and willingness to set past disagreements aside for the sake of future collaborations. It’s a testament to her resilience and respect for talented individuals, regardless of past conflicts.
