10 most fun things you really didn't know about Grace and Frankie
In five days, 16 (16! 16!) fresh episodes of Grace and Frankie will be waiting for us, which already puts us in the Grace and Frankie mood. I'm rewatching some of the old episodes and occasionally find a hidden gem – probably one where I fell asleep while binge-watching – which brings a great feeling of happiness. Anyway. For those of you who are also team Grace and Frankie: here are some fun facts you probably didn't know.
1. Longest-running Netflix series ever
With seven seasons and a total of 94 episodes, this is the longest-running Netflix Original and I think it should exist indefinitely. A small suggestion from us: make a series about Brianna. We would watch.
2. Mallory and Coyote had a teen pregnancy
We suspected there was ‘something’ going on between these two because why else would Mitch hate Coyote so much, but a teen pregnancy? Mállory?
3. The beach house exists
It is located in Malibu and not in San Diego (which makes it even more attractive to me) and was last sold for an amount of 15 million dollars.
4. Lily Tomlin has been with her partner for 45 years
And her partner is a woman. I just find it all the more enjoyable.
5. This is what Jane Fonda eats for breakfast
“My boyfriend. Well toasted and buttered on both sides.” Lily: “She doesn’t have a boyfriend.” “I’ll fantasize one.”
6. This is why Jane looks so good
It's all a matter of good genes and ‘a lot of money’.
7. Jane's workout
In the past, Jane Fonda sold videotapes featuring her own workouts. When she looks at them now, she feels embarrassed due to the semi-pornographic nature of the exercises, but it worked and it is still the best-selling workout of all time. So.
8. Lily and Jane have been friends for this long
Almost forty years, since the filming of the movie ‘9 to 5’, as Grace said in a talk show where they were both guests. Lily answered the question of how long they have known each other: “I think it was before your first facelift.”
9. Jane and Lily roasted Donald Trump
At the Emmy Awards in 2017, Lily and Jane (who were on stage with Dolly Parton) took their moment. The point of their film ‘9 to 5’ (and now you understand why Dolly is standing next to them) was that they “refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot” and that in 2017 they still “refuse to be controlled by a sexist, hypocritical, lying, egotistical bigot”. Poor Dolly is the busty equivalent of Switzerland and doesn't want to make a statement, so she quickly says that her main task of the evening is to get a Grace and Frankie vibrator in her bag.
10. And then there's Jane
Who moved to Chicago to protest against Trump's climate policy every week and gets arrested every week. Jane has said she won't shop anymore because our consumption behavior is bad for the climate and she has far exceeded her shopping tax. That Jane. Or as her stylist Allyson Fanger recently said on her Instagram when she congratulated Jane on her 82nd birthday: ‘Happy 82nd birthday you BAD ASS WARRIOR & all time INSPIRATION.’.
Jane, Lily, we love you.
