Writer and performer Lily Tomlin made her name in the NBC comedy show Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. Jack Robinson photographed Tomlin on March 29, 1971 for a Vogue feature where Tomlin is described as a “slender, scrappy young woman with innocence-blue eyes and a smoke screen of brown hair”. Vogue also noted the way she uses her characters to hit “corporate hypocrisy, government incredibility, pomposity, cant, untruth telling of any kind.”
