She starred as the title character, a divorced mother of one, navigating the ups and downs of parenting and dating while running a business.
Vice President Selina Meyer. The honor also marked her 13th acting Emmy nomination, ranking her among TV's most nominated female performers. Louis-Dreyfus made another appearance on the big screen in She starred in Enough Said with James Gandolfini, which explored the ups and downs of middle age romance. In a tragic twist, Gandolfini died of a heart attack months before the film's release. The film's premiere was bittersweet for the actress.
For his legacy, I'm so happy he made this film. It shows his versatility as an actor. Louis-Dreyfus made history at the Emmy Awards ceremony when she won her sixth award for lead actress in a comedy series — her fifth straight for Veep — breaking the three-way record she held with Mary Tyler Moore and Candice Bergen.

The group included her next-door neighbor Margaret Edson , who went on to take home the Pulitzer Prize for drama in for her play Wit.
But it was at all-girls Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland that she began to truly develop her love for acting, not to mention crafting her into the woman she is today.
For instance, I was president of the honor society," she told Capitol File magazine in It's also where she learned that she loved to make people laugh. In , she enrolled at Northwestern University in Chicago, where she immediately began auditioning and was cast in the "Mee-Ow Show," which she described to The New Yorker as " the comedy show on campus.
And it was something huge: everything came from that. Through her work in the show, she was asked to join an upstart theater troupe founded by, among others, a Northwestern dropout by the name of Brad Hall. Calling themselves the Practical Theatre Company, the four-person group began putting on a show they called "The Golden 50th Anniversary Jubilee. Upon the recommendation of Tim Kazurinsky , then a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live , the show's producer at the time Dick Ebersol— this was during the five fallow years in the early '80s when creator Lorne Michaels was not involved with his baby—took in a performance and hired all four right on the spot.
Elated at landing the dream gig with such ease, Julia dropped out after her junior year and moved to New York.

A writer she'd developed a friendship with by the name of Larry David. When Dick left the show in after her third season and Lorne returned, she wasn't invited back.
Soon, she and Brad headed out west to Los Angeles, where she began exploring a career that progressed in stops and starts, with roles in pilots that went nowhere or shows that were very short-lived. In , the couple tied the knot. And then, a few years later and following the disappointment of a failed Warner Bros. And thus, Elaine Benes was born. But though she liked the unique sensibility of the material, she wasn't entirely sold on the character.
After her audition, Larry chased her into the parking lot and asked her what she thought. And she still didn't know. But despite reservations over whether it was the right move for her, she signed on that weekend. And though it wasn't overnight, Seinfeld did go on to become the treasure that Julia saw it as. The series ran for nine seasons, becoming one of NBC's crown jewels and earning Julia her first Emmy. During her star-making tenure as Elaine, the actress welcomed two sons into the world, Henry , in , and Charlie , in And once Seinfeld wrapped in May of with one of the most polarizing finales in TV history, she took an extended break to spend time with her little ones.
