Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Sally Field, and Lily Tomlin tell a true story
Tomlin felt particular excitement for the movie specifically because it is based on a true story. “I’d seen a video of one of the women getting a call from Tom Brady to tell her that her grandson had pitched the idea to his agent and he was so taken with the story he was going to make a movie about their adventure,” she explained. She loved the woman in the story for her “humor, her sweetness.” She imagined her own excited mother getting a call from Brady and says she’d have been thrilled by 80 for Brady.
Tomlin is actually just coming off of working with Fonda in Grace and Frankie together. As for Brady, Tomlin says, “He’s sensitive and tries to make people comfortable.” But it’s Brady who considers this an exciting opportunity, saying, “The opportunity to work alongside these four amazingly talented women has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
