Julia Louis-Dreyfus is turning 57 today. She studied theater at Northwestern, dropping out before she finished her degree to work with Chicago’s The Practical Theatre Company; she was then invited to join the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1982, at the age of 21. After three years on SNL, she moved on to roles in films like Hannah and Her Sisters, and on the short-lived sitcom Day by Day, before landing her breakthrough role, as Elaine Benes on Seinfeld. During the show’s nine season run, she won an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
Louis-Dreyfus has made a few films during Seinfeld’s run and since it ended, such as Deconstructing Harry and Enough Said, but has mostly stuck to television. She headlined the short-lived Watching Ellie, and then starred as Christine Campbell on The New Adventures of Old Christine, a role which brought her her second Emmy. Since 2012 she has starred as Selina Meyer, the title character of HBO’s Veep, which will return for its seventh and final season this April. Louis-Dreyfus has won six straight Emmys as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Veep, and shared in three more for Outstanding Comedy Series as an executive producer.
