Netflix: "Grace And Frankie"


"9 To 5" stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin reunite as two women forced to reinvent their lives in this funny, honest new Netflix Original series, Grace and Frankie.

Elegant, proper Grace and freewheeling, eccentric Frankie aren't friends, even though their husbands Robert and Sol (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) have been law partners for decades.

But when Robert and Sol announce that they're leaving their wives for each other, the two women start to bond in ways they never expected.

13 episodes coming to Netflix on May 8th.

Jonathon Groff: I Was Too Closeted In High School To Watch "Queer As Folk"


Jonathon Groff on seeing early portrayals of gay men in film and television:

When I saw "Brokeback Mountain," I was in a closeted relationship and went to go see it with my boyfriend, so that was really intense for the both of us. We left the theater in total horrified silence.

And I remember being in high school and seeing "Queer as Folk" playing on the TV in the background at a party and being intrigued, but too embarrassed to go turn up the volume and actually watch it.

"Will & Grace" was a big one, too, when I was growing up. And even though I didn't personally relate to Will or Jack, it was just great to watch them every week and not feel so alone.
