Some female celebrities have found lifelong friends in other A-listers.
Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah met as teenagers in a club in the '90s.
Jane Fonda's and Lily Tomlin's four-decade friendship began with the movie "9 to 5."

Ever since "Parks and Recreation" aired the episode "Galentine's Day" in 2010, February 13 has been all about "ladies celebrating ladies."

On the day before Valentine's Day, the fake holiday-turned-cultural phenomenon encourages women to take some time away from their partners and kick it with their female friends. Fans of the show aren't the only ones to participate in Galentine's Day - plenty of celebrities have also shown how they celebrate the holiday.
