The original stars of a beloved 1980 comedy are reunited in the documentary Still Working 9 to 5, making its debut today on VOD platforms including Prime Video, Apple TV and Google Play.
9 to 5 leads Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Dabney Coleman – in one of his final interviews before his passing in May – all take part in the film directed and produced by Camille Hardman and Gary Lane and executive produced by Larry Lane (Gary’s twin brother). The documentary examines the extraordinary success of the original comedy over 40 years ago, the issues it raised about sexism in the workplace and the gender pay gap and where we stand today as a country on these pressing questions.

“When the highest grossing comedy, 9 to 5, starring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Dabney Coleman and Lily Tomlin, exploded on screens in 1980, the laughs hid a serious message about inequality in the workplace,” notes a synopsis. “Still Working 9 to 5 explores what has and has not changed for working women over the last 40 years.”
