JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS

Thanks to the TV credits she had received on Seinfeld as catalog writer Elaine Benes and on Veep as politician and U.S. President Selina Meyer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus stole the hearts of spectators worldwide during the 1990s . For her skillful maneuvering in the craft of satire, the New York native was noted.

Even now, Louis-Dreyfus has not ceased. She was the star of the cable comedy The New Adventures of Old Christine shortly before appearing on Veep, playing self-centered single mother Christine Campbell. For winning the most Primetime Emmy awards as a lead actress, the Northwestern University alumnus takes credit.
