Julia Elizabeth Scarlett Louis-Dreyfus is an Emmy, Golden
Globe, & SAG Award-winning American actress & comedienne who gained popularity
while playing the role of Elaine Benes on the NBC sitcom Seinfeld in the 1990s.
She currently stars in the popular CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine.
Louis-Dreyfus
was born in New York City. She was born on Friday the 13th. Her paternal grandparents
were Dolores Neubauer & Pierre Louis-Dreyfus, a French Jew who fought in the
French Resistance during World War II. Julia was raised in Bethesda, Maryland,
& graduated from the Holton-Arms School. Her mother is Judith Bowles, &
her father is French billionaire Gérard Louis-Dreyfus (who changed his
name to William in the 1940s). Her cousin Robert Louis-Dreyfus is the former owner
of Adidas (1993-2001) & the current owner of the French football club Olympique
de Marseille. She claims to be related to the late Alfred Dreyfus, a French army
captain best known for being the focus of the Dreyfus affair.
Louis-Dreyfus
attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she studied theater
& was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority. She graduated in 1982. Since 1987
she has been married to actor/writer Brad Hall, whom she met while they were students
at Northwestern. Hall also worked on SNL. The couple have two sons, Henry (born
1992) & Charles (born 1997).
Louis-Dreyfus was a cast member on NBC's Saturday
Night Live from 1982 to 1985. While on SNL, she met writer Larry David, who would
later co-create Seinfeld. Louis-Dreyfus also appeared in quite a few sitcoms &
films over the years but is best known for her nine-season role as "Elaine
Benes" on NBC's Seinfeld from 1990 to 1998, in which she appeared in all
but three episodes.
After Seinfeld, Louis-Dreyfus began a new NBC sitcom, Watching
Ellie, which was soon cancelled. She had a notable recurring guest role as the
deceitful prosecutor Maggie Lizer on Arrested Development. Louis-Dreyfus came
to be seen as a victim of "the Seinfeld Curse", a term applied to typecast
actors who, after appearing in an enormously popular television series or movie,
have trouble finding popularity in other roles. However, the impressive ratings
for The New Adventures of Old Christine have led some to believe that the "curse"
is broken. She received a Lead Actress Emmy Award for her work on the first season
of The New Adventures of Old Christine. She was evidently surprised by her win,
as she could barely utter her acceptance speech during the 2006 Emmy Awards.
She returned to host Saturday Night Live on May 13, 2006, becoming the first former female cast member to return as host (Gilda Radner was supposed to host in the 1987-88 season, but a writers' strike cut the season short & Radner died of ovarian cancer a year later). Louis-Dreyfus appeared with former Seinfeld mates Jason Alexander & Jerry Seinfeld in the opening monologue, parodying the so-called "Seinfeld Curse". She mocked the curse once again while accepting her Emmy award in 2006.
She has also appeared on Seinfeld creator Larry David's show Curb Your Enthusiasm, playing herself fictionally trying to break the 'curse' by planning to star in a show in which she would play an actress affected by a Seinfeld-like curse. That storyline expanded on Seinfeld's 'show about nothing' theme by twisting it into a 'show about a show about a show about nothing'.
She is currently scheduled to be the commencement speaker in June 2007 at her alma-mater of Northwestern University.
