Laverne Cox (“Orange is the New Black”) was radiant in red as she worked her way down the red carpet in New York City. Click on the accompanying slideshow to view some never-before-seen photos of Cox. These photos are just being made available now and show Cox on the carpet in lower Manhattan on April 20, 2015 at the Tribeca Film Festival movie premiere of “Grandma,” by writer director Paul Weitz (“American Pie,” “About a Boy”). “Grandma” stars Lily Tomlin, Julia Garner and Nat Wolff.

On the red carpet at the film’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere last month, Weitz smiled as he referred to Tomlin as “so punk rock” and added that she was great as Tina Fey’s mom in “Admission.”
“She was so hardcore, funny and smart that I wanted to do a whole movie with her as the lead.” said Weitz. Before “Admission,” he hadn’t known Tomlin well, “But her intelligence rang like a clear bell,” he said. “It made me think of a character and how much that character would have to offer a young woman under duress.”
Tomlin’s smile lit up the red carpet — corny-sounding, I know, but it did — and she exuded a natural air of hippitude. As I stood next to her on the carpet, she seemed tickled by the grin plastered on my face. I’ve adored her since “One ringy-dingy” and loved her decades later on FX’s “Damages.”
