LOS ANGELES, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Actress Lily Tomlin has

married her longtime partner and comedy collaborator Jane

Wagner, Tomlin's publicist said on Tuesday.

Tomlin, 74, married Wagner, 78, on New Year's Eve at a

private ceremony in Los Angeles after 42 years of being

together, Jennifer Allen said.


Same-sex marriage became legal again in California last

June, after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed an

appellate court's order striking down the state's ban to stand.


Tomlin and Wagner shared Emmy awards in 1974, 1976 and 1981

for their work on writing comedy variety TV programs starring

Tomlin, who rose to fame in the 1970s with her characters on the

sketch comedy show "Laugh-In."


Tomlin earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting

actress in Robert Altman's 1975 musical drama "Nashville."
