Her movies include Robert Altman's Nashville and Short Cuts, Nine to Five with Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton, All of Me with Steve Martin, Big Business with Bette Midler, Flirting with Disaster with Ben Stiller, and I Heart Huckabees with Dustin Hoffman. She also narrated and executive produced The Celluloid Closet, the 1995 documentary on how homosexuality has been portrayed in Hollywood films. On TV, Tomlin played Candice Bergen's boss on the last two seasons on Murphy Brown, the voice of Ms. Frizzle on The Magic School Bus, and Martin Sheen's secretary on The West Wing (after Mrs. Landingham died). Tomlin's 1986 one-woman show, The Search for Signs of Inteligent Life in the Universe, was a long-running critical success. It won Tomlin a Tony, and was made into a film in 1991. Tomlin joined ABC's hit television show Desperate Housewives in late 2008 as Mrs. McCluskey's (played Kathryn Joosten) sister, Roberta Simmons.
