Julia Louis-Dreyfus Breaks Down Her Career, from Seinfeld to Veep | Vanity Fair

She has an incredible way of delivery. When she talks, you listen
agreed (:
It's called Grace, it's called charisma. But mainly the Julia Dreyfus effect 👉👈
She just has such a presence. Her tone is so lovely
She looks like Elaine in some old people makeup
She's such a milf. Of course I'm listening!
I often describe her as the "Meryl Streep of Comedy." Shes the best of the best. A living legend.
MAYBE only behind Lucille Ball. But can't argue too much against Julia.
The best, Jerry, the best.
nice
Yuck. Don't slander JLD like that!
I describe her as the "Meryl Streep of television"
I remember watching Seinfeld as a kid, i had no idea that Julia would turn out to be the most talented of the bunch. But looking back it's pretty obvious.
comixgod50 how is George the most forgettable. He was the best
HER OR JASON ALEXANDER
@@comixgod50 george is definitely not the most forgettable, I think he has the most memes
@@larrote6467 I meant after and outside Seinfeld fame.
@@comixgod50 that doesn't make sense: do you mean Jason Alexander o George Costanza?
I love that she is not afraid of playing female characters that are unexpected or even unlikeable. She is amazing.
Big time! She is so immensely skilled that a few times after watching Veep I had to shut it off because I was mad that her character was so HORRIBLE but she still came out on top 😅
LOVE her, you did her dirty with the lighting/editing/make up whatever. She looks grey.
P S Plot Twist: Julia did her own makeup for this video. 😳😂
@@gorgeouss79 ... Oop 🤢
She looks old in the thumbnail. They coulda used literally any other frame of her
@@skaterdude14b tbf, she's nearly 60, if you consider that old.
It's not about looking old, of course everyone ages, she looks washed out. And it's clearly bad lighting because she does not look like that in other places. I guess anyone would look unflattering with this light
She is the epitome of being a lady. So honest, humble, gracious and really empowering for other women. She is one of a kind. So blessed to be alive in her era.
I see
I agree. She seems like such a cool person.
GRACE?
Some grace
You’re *blessed* to live at the same time as an actress? Weird.
She was born incredibly wealthy and didn’t need to lift a finger for the rest of her life. It’s very impressive how hard she has worked and how much she has achieved.
I was thinking the same thing. I have read that she is a billionaire. But what a delightful actress. How fortunate for us that she chose a career.
@@roberthenleynola she's worth $250 million definitely not a billionaire but she ain't hurting for money that's for sure lol.
Big K Her father
@@bigkmoviesandgames MASSIVE inheritage, $250m is probably just her earnings.
One of the many benefits of being wealthy -- you're able to pursue your passions and not have to worry about having a backup plan.
I can't believe they didn't mention her role in Christmas Vacation. "Why is the carpet wet Todd? I don't know Margo!" is one of my favourite lines in the history of movies.
I was waiting for Christmas Vacation!! I can’t believe they did Bug’s Life but not Christmas Vacation!!
Clark: Bend over and I’ll show you
Todd: You have lot of nerve talking to me like that!
Clark: I wasn’t talking to you
🤣
Of course I don’t know Todd!!” Is one of the best ever!
I thought the exact same thing and the exact same line :) The best Christmas movie, I watch it every year.
i love that she refers to Jerry Seinfeld as "Jer"
@@tomdrum1394 Reminds me of Susie in curb your enthusiasm. lol
Jer and Lar lol
Apoorv A so Jewish
@@baburao87 Look-it! It's not Suz. It's SUSIE.
Little Yerry!
No other show has made me laugh as much as Veep did, THAT is how you do comedy. I’m gonna miss it but I will gladly rewatch every episode.
That is also how you do a show period !
The writing of the plots and characters was always stellar. Nothing makes no sense or is useless / cheap.
It truly tells a story, every character has is defined by one exagerated trait and has a great arc around that. Incredible writing supported by STELLAR acting.
Moustiboy that show has been on my list for years.
Chemist same
Love you
Just finished watching the whole series and I'm pretty sure I'm about to watch it all over again.
Veep is the best show and best casting ever. No character was " wrong" or not quite right. Perfect casting across the board!
Except Jeff Kane’s first actor. Peter MacNicol’s portrayal of Uncle Jeff is the best performance of a comedy side character i’ve ever seen.
The New Adventures of Old Christine is so underrated. JLD and that entire cast were BRILLIANT!
It’s in my top 10 favorite shows all time. Super underrated. Hilarious and well written. Great chemistry with the whole cast.
I LOVED that show. What a shame it was only a few seasons.
We need so bad that show on Netflix 😭😭
SUPER underrated!!
that’s my opinion also.sooooooo under-rated.
Who else is binge watching Veep during these quarantine times? Julia is comedic gold. So charming and natural.
I am :D
@@AlexLopes1990 Nice :)
Parks and Rec. And The good place. Thanks for asking
Not Veep but Seinfeld
I am
She was in A Bug’s Life?!?! My respect just doubled
Same here
She is the kinda of person that, when i look for a tv show to watch and see her name on it, i know im going to have a few laughs. Legend
I just finished watching Seinfeld for the first time and Elaine has to be my favorite character not only was she funny but she was also relatable and I'm glad Julia got to play that role
"Enough Said" is one of the best romantic dramedies of the last decade. So sensitive and natural acting. More people should watch it.
I love that movie so much...
I just watch it and it`s an amazing movie!
Whoever did the lighting or editing for this video, please fire them. I don't know if "Over Exposed" is the latest thing, but bad is bad. It's not flattering to Julia and the hot spots are super annoying.
indeed nobody watched that before it was uploaded.
Your comment is a sad reflection of our society today... and not clever.
Yes. *FIRE THEM*
Or...just ask them to make changes it should be fine.
IT IS DISTRACTING
I thought my monitor was completely off. it isn't
The new adventures of old Christine has to be the most underrated show of all time.
landdead26 It really is, I was absolutely obsessed with it when it was on
Oh awesome, finally some ppl who recognized the hilarity of that show... I've probably seen it all the way thru 30 times and am still going
I rewatch it every time it's on but I get sad when I watch the final episode and grasp how unsatisfying it was to end the show that way
no doubt about it. i’m hesitant to say it’s my favorite of hers, especially among seinfeld and veep, but new adventures was INCREDIBLE!
@@laalaag2auntyayag776 i’m currently rewatching it for the 7th time or something. at least in terms of rewatch-ability, new adventures is my favorite of all her works!
Hearing Julia's laugh will always take me back to the Pez Dispenser episode of Seinfeld. No wonder Noel recognized it immediately.
I love the description of Selina's behavior as toddler-like! Really provides insight into how Julia accessed Selina's character.
Accessed? Jesus
veep will go down in history as one of the funniest shows of all time
the first few seasons are great. last few eh imo.
There's a reason it was on paychannels. It sucked would not get an audience if she blew everyone
Christina Meyer Woooah take it easy there bud. It’s a great show but it doesn’t deserve that title.
And the one with the most colorful insults.
Says you
The Adventures of Old Christine is criminally underrated!
It's such a great show! I just watched all five seasons on HBO Max. Go watch it again, I might!
the new adventures of old Christine had always been so underrated! Julia is an incredible woman with so much talent.
Most of y’all will disagree , but I think Selina Meyer is the funniest Julia Louis-Dreyfus performance :p still love Elaine though.
no show was more consistent with hard jokes than veep was...that show had some truly impressive joke writing...david mandel took that show to a whole other level
She's just so positive, and a bundle of energy..........LOVE HER
I'll always remember how much she made me laugh playing Selina Mayer on VEEP. So much, that after watching the episode, the scenes would be on my mind and I'd burst out laughing simply thinking of them, and no other show/actor could do that to me. Thats the power of her acting. She's a genius. Truly !
I'm a huge fan and have never heard of that show before in my life. Can't wait to start watching it!
I have loved her in everything, but I'm sad they let her skip over National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I know it was a small part, but I LOVED her as the yuppie next door! OMG!
The reason I watched this...
North too, she starred with Jason Alexander.
Ditto. "Watching Ellie" is one of my all-time favorites. I'm sad that VF gave that show a pass as well.
Thinking the same thing
me too id forgotten
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a national treasure. Thank you for making us laugh.
Everyone is mad about the editing and lighting but nobody is mentioning that GOD AWFUL background music!
I think the lighting is clickbait
Witchehhhh Womannnn
Yeah WTH!!!!!!!
Veep is one of the best shows I've ever watched. The writing, the directing, the acting... everything is legit.
I was on vacation in Los Angeles and went to a taping of a brand-new show that we were told was possibly going to be picked up, and that was the New Adventures of Old Christine! It was so great to see that cast in action, and that was my only TV show taping, so I'm glad I got to see JLD live and performing in front of a crowd.
The New Adventures of Old Christine is one of my all time favorite shows. It’s very underrated.
Same here
the only actor to break free of the Seinfeld curse, glad she made it through and I saw her award speech was funny and poignant I don't think enough people appreciate elaine all the glory goes to George and Kramer but ill always be thankful for all 4 of them making me laugh.
wrong both larry and jerry have both eclipsed Seinfeld in fame and have done plenty of iconic things since
Iconic doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.
Jason Alexander was iconic in Pretty Woman, Jerry in C.i.c.g.c. was iconic, Larry is still iconic with Curb your enthusiasm (they just signed Season 12) so I don't really know what you're talking about...
LOVE her! I'm rewatching all the Seinfeld episodes while on my treadmill and I had forgotten how great it was - such talent! It's helping me stay on the treadmill!
i loved hearing her talk about a bug's life. you can always tell when a celebrity voice actor doesn't care so much about voicing an animated character, but you can tell she really gets it. the mark of a truly great performance in animation is an actor that understands the complexity of channeling an entire performance through your voice and the avenues you can use to get there. what a fantastic performer and a great role model. even when i was little and saw my parents watching seinfeld, i knew i looked up to her.
The New Adventures of Old Christine was soooo funny AMAZINGLY funny and loved her in Arrested Development so happy she is getting the recognition she deserves
i’ve always been super bummed New Adventures got cut short! one of my all-time favorite shows. it deserved so much more 😕
Ahhh, that voice! I just want to curl up into a comfy chair and listen to her all day, and that laugh is absolutely intoxicating. Her husband is a very lucky guy.
James Gandolfini died of a heart attack between Enough Said's shooting and release. You can see she becomes emotional when she starts talking about him... :'-(
Alexandre Cudré Amazing movie.
.99plkoollll9lp
i’m glad you pointed this out. a touching moment for sure
She's so talented. Like Charlize Theron (and many others), she gets cast to play REAL characters, not the ''wife/girlfriend/mistress'' or the ''mother/sister/daughter'' of a the main male character. Nowadays, I feel like we are lucky to get great male and female characters, not only heroes and villains but also people in general.
Plus her role in Arrested Development was hilarious.
and I'm glad that she was able to survive the breast cancer,
Duh
@@noneyerbidness thanks
peter papadimitriou and you shouldn’t start a sentence with and
@@ALGtheMC who are you? My parents?
@@ALGtheMC and I agree so annoying 😏
Close your eyes and picture Tina Fey....
When she played Tina on the live 30 Rock ep, that was perfection. Would love to see them play sisters
i love how she refers tp her friends as Jer and Lar
Loved Old Christine...but was abruptly ended. Didn't have the closure I needed. Maybe we need New Christine. Her evil side was refreshing.
All New Old New Adventures of Old Christine?
I was thinking about that show for the longest time couldn't remember the name. But I agree. Lol
So true
Omg i miss Christine she was a hot mess. Wanda Sykes was her wife was hilarious for a green card.
On board!
Superb actress. Extremely well-spoken lady, and there's that contagious laugh, lol. best of luck to you Julia. God bless.
New Adventures of Old Christine is one of my favorite T.V. shows of all time. She IS remarkable! Absolutely brilliant and centered. Relatable. Real.
Still salty to this day that New Adventures was cancelled. That show should've run 9 seasons.
Same
God I loved that show
Well if that's the case we wouldn't get VEEP
No it shouldnt because she wouldnt do Veep
Here Here.
I love how she talks about jerry and their friendship💛
"It was a full body dry heave set to music." 🤣
Her laughter is infectious and her comedic timing is unbelievably natural.
Her hair was so lush and beautiful on Seifeld
Thick, lustrous hair is very important to me
I always love when hollywood actors pay credit to the skill of voice acting instead of going "Oh yeah it was easy I just showed up and read stuff in my PJs!". Some people have voices iconic enough not not have to act. But voice acting is a genuine skill in the same way theatre acting is different form movie acting.
That's so very true. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the new "Lion King". Some of the voice overs were absolutely wooden because I don't think some of the actors were up to the skill required for voice overs.
@@hutch1197 You have to bring the character to life with just your voice. It's a lot easier to act in person. You bring the character to life with actions and voice. The new Loin King was cast with names. Names don't make good voice actors most times. Sadly voice actors don't get nominated for Oscars like best actors in a film and they should. Their job is a lot harder to do. They bring their characters to life with great acting.
She has aged beautifully as in she’s hardly aged at all. Just beautiful!
exactly. She looks older than 30 years ago--but excellent for her age, and much better than so many that are over facelifted and over botoxed. Hopefully she will never mangle her looks.
@@monkeyb1820 Does she really look excellent for her age? I feel like the makeup here is making her look worse.
@@funtimes8296 she looks older here than she does on Seinfeld--but she looks a lot better than had she done a lot of injections, facelifts, plastic surgeries. To me the overall color of her face looks abnormal in this clip, almost grayish-green looking.
That Mark Twain prize speech is so touching and sweet and deserved. Unbelievable.
I LOVE her SO MUCH! I grew up watching her on "New Christine." It's still one of my favorite shows. 😊 When I was younger, I thought I'd grow up to be Christine.
Wish I could've heard her talk about Christmas Vacation!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is our Madeline Kahn. Probably the funniest person alive today.
Madeline Kahn is our Madeline Kahn. No comparison.
I think Chappelle is funnier
“Stella!”
Love Julia heaps !!
They broke the mould when they made her.
I always enjoy watching the reruns of Seinfeld. My 6 year old does too. He knows all the characters.
Thank you Julia for all the great memories.
She's amazing! One of my fav comedy actress! Loved her on Seinfeld, Old Christine and obv VEEP!
The comments on her appearance are astonishing. I love her. Glad to have watched. Can't wait to see what she does next
I mean, I hate that people focus so much on the lighting and make-up. This great conversation and people worry about how she looks.
+Hugo^: thank you for saying that. It’s not important at all to the video and yet somehow it’s in so many of the comments
Why can't people leave their opinions in the comment section without people like you crying about it?
@@ukmedicfrcs 👀👀👀
@@lilzak1121 Ok what did I do now? Lol
@@ukmedicfrcs you're hot...that's what you did
Absolutely LOVE her. I have watched and loved every show and movie she has ever been in. Christine, Elaine and Selena are such fantastic characters and I thank Julia for the great laughs!
I love that she watches/remembers Seinfeld episodes. So many actors either don't remember, or pretend to not remember the shows they were in.
I must admit what Papa Franku has told me. That Seinfield is one of the greatest animes we've ever come across to.
I’m fine with Julia answering questions on an apple box for 20 more years! 😛
So great listening to Julia talk about her career - and she has the best laugh always makes me laugh too
I fell in love with you first in "The Tape" episode of Seinfeld. Still love you. I hope we'll be able to see you again in Curb's new season.
Every single thing she does is hilarious and amazing, I love Seinfeld, Veep, Curb, Christine, all of it. Love how she chooses her projects.
I’ve watched this multiple times. It never gets old. Julia is pure brilliance!
Thank you for this.....your career has been a joy to enjoy. My family literally watches Seinfeld nightly for night caps.....
Enough Said was heartbreaking and beautiful. I loved seeing Julia and James in such different roles than their legendary tv characters. I’m still sad that Gandolfini left us so early...such a devastating loss! Elaine and Tony will live on forever, though.
Her Mar Twain award speech was so amazing that you can watch it over and over and be even more impressed than the last time!
a perfect resume. she's hilarious. every single thing she's done. love her!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a very talented lady. Gave me some of the happiest television viewing moments in the 1990s. I watched a lot of television in the 1980s and 1990s before the internet age kicked in. I hardly watch any tv now. Back then I did. Watching Julia Loius-Dreyfus on television back then really brightened up my day back in the 1990s.
how dare they give julia a terrible makeup artist?! SHE’S A LIVING LEGEND FOR GOD SAKES HAVE SOME RESPECT
The blonde guy at 1:00 is Brad Hall who she married and have been together for about 35 years.
Whom she married...
Lucky guy
@@JesseWright68 WHOMST
she is so full of joy it's a pleasure to watch her just talk
Julia brings joy to our lives. I hope she never quits.
I was a teenage boy watching Seinfeld in the 90's. I can't be the only one.
Girl but ya, same... And I still watch it all the time
Yes! Veep nailed its finale, what a great series.
Omg, that finale was fantastic. I was floored by the betrayal. Julia was brilliant in Veep!
stumbled across this and enjoyed every second of it.
My favorite role of her’s is in Christmas Vacation because its never gets old.
Her career is amazing.❤️
Thank you for this video 👍🏽
ahhhh I finally watched Veep and am excited to see more of her content!!
The Busboy is my favorite Seinfeld episode. That's the first episode of any TV show where I genuinely laughed and couldn't stop.
I love her so much. I was born after Seinfeld and didn’t see Old Christine but I loved Veep and she seems like an incredible talent
The New Adventures of Old Christine...WAS EVERYTHING!
JLD = one of the best actresses America has to offer. That deep, rich, genuine, throaty laugh always makes me smile. One of the best laughs I've ever heard.
WHAT ABOUT MARISSA TOMEI?
she worked with Lisa Kudrow on "Web Therapy", that was incredible and so funny
I admire this woman so much! So thankful for her talent and appreciate everything she does.
The way she explains her career and artistic choices reveals that she is, in fact, a legend and a pioneer. Well earned!
This lady's family is worth billions and she's so down to earth, amazing actress
Legend, fave ever❤️
Can’t freaking wait for the Emmy!!!
Her bloopers on Seinfeld and her contagious laughter are another favorite part of the show.
I just watched all of Seinfeld twice and am on my second watching of Veep. She’s so awesome.
I just adore Julia, her radiance, her imminent talent and her charisma!! It’s hard to imagine her not doing a job well done.
It's ok to look old if you're old. And I think Julia agrees. It's refreshing to see.
She's a beautiful and really put-together 61-year-old. She was a beautiful little girl. She was beautiful all the time.
The New Adventures of Old Christine is SOOOOO underrated 😂
My first Seinfeld experience was at a summer camp when a fellow classmate flipping the channel and start watching it. That how I came to know and loving the show till this day. The episode rock climbing where George drooled over a cool dude. 😆
