    Julia has been awarded 11 Emmy awards. 8 for acting...3 for producing. Thats all that needs to be said about this gem of an actress and human being who has provided me, as well as millions of others, quality laughs over her now 39 year career. Congrats Julia!!!!

    • @DavidJohnson-lm7nn
      @DavidJohnson-lm7nn Год назад

      hey only accolade is "she knows Jerry." For her to win one, before him, is fucking ludicrous. She's known for her stand up as much as Einstein is known for his professional NBA play as a two guard. She wasnt a writer so the awards you mention are not for comedy. I dont know who is fucking worse, this award or Ellen. Its a travesty.

      She is that generations Lucille Ball or Mary Tyler Moore, but yea, I haven't seen anyone near her level since Seinfeld wrapped up, the writing on her own shows wasn't good enough to let her truly shine or else we would have had an untold number of extra years of her, but sadly it wasn't to be. I sure do still love her in syndication though.

    Every time i feel sad for any reason, i watch this hilarious and humble speech. I am not really the one to look up celebrities but i love julia louis dreyfus and her art. I loved her on seinfeld and veep and her guest appearances on arrested development. Julia louis dreyfus spreads joy with her work and her ever so infectious laughter. What a wonderful artist!

    4:02 "I love comedy and I love my career" Honestly that delivery cracks me up. It reminds me of your aunt or someone at a family dinner, who is frustrated at the way their life has turned out, but putting on a good show, but cracks at the end. It's so well done

    I have to geek out here--i just met her this evening, along with her husband, Brad, at a screening of a documentary film they made together. I'm such a huge fan of hers since Seinfeld, and for the last 12 yrs i've been working for an organization she is connected with and hoping i'd have a chance to meet her... so happy i was able to!

As a 38 year old man, married with a daughter, my standard of the perfect woman has not only been Ms Benes, but Ms Louis Dreyfus. Gets better with age. Beautiful, funny, incredibly talented. Absolutely flawless.
