Julia Louis-Dreyfus is an American actress.

Louis-Dreyfus has earned worldwide acclaim and recognition for her portrayal of Elaine Benes in the hit NBC series Seinfeld, and Vice President of the United States Selina Meyer in the HBO series Veep.

The Northwestern University grad has also received wide acclaim for her starring role as Eva in Fox Searchlight's Enough Said, opposite the late James Gandolfini. 

The immensely celebrated actress may also be seen in her prior role as Christine Campbell on CBS comedy The New Adventures of Old Christine.
