Beverly Hills, CA -- Lily Tomlin sounds like Reba McEntire's mother the way she talks about her. Tomlin says McEntire is "so solid as a personality and as a comedic actress." She first realized how talented McEntire was when she saw her star in "Annie Get Your Gun" on Broadway. Tomlin says she began to "weep" because McEntire was so "spectacular." She went backstage to tell her so and now Tomlin plays McEntire's mother in "Malibu Country," which premieres tomorrow night on ABC.
