Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Received her 14th Emmy Award nomination in 2014 making her the most-nominated comedic actress in the lead and supporting categories in Emmy Award history.
As of April 2013, she is the only actress to receive Emmy Awards for her work on three different comedy series (Seinfeld (1989), Old Christine (2006), Veep (2012)).
Her character on Seinfeld (1989), Elaine Benes, did not appear in the original pilot. She has never watched that episode - out of superstition. [Contrary to that statement, she told David Letterman that when she watches the show, she doesn't recall any of it; it's like she's a new viewer].
Is included in Richard Roeper's list of actresses who have never done nude scenes in his latest book, "Ten Sure Signs a Movie Character is Doomed, and Other Surprising Movie Lists". When asked about this by Conan O'Brien, Dreyfus stated that she had never been asked to do one.
Daughter of Gerard Louis-Dreyfus, a French billionaire businessman.

I'm not somebody who really believes in curses, but curse this baby! [on the so called "Seinfeld curse", in which little or no success has come since the show to the four main actors, upon accepting her Emmy Award for Old Christine (2006)]
I will quote Norman Lear, who said that celebrity is something you can spend. And so I have taken my so-called celebrity and occasionally spent it down on causes or things that I'm passionate about. I'm not running for office. I'm not a scientist. But I'm a concerned citizen.
[on playing the leading character on Veep (2012)] Well, let's see. I personally am not the Vice-President of the United States. I want to make sure everyone understands that. But the aspect of presenting yourself in a certain way to the public and be liked - there is a parallel between public life and life as a person in show business, and that's sort of fun to draw on. I'm trying to watch a lot of in-between moments on C-SPAN.
Whenever I felt down, my mom would remind me that sense of humor gets you through just about anything.
[2013, on accepting an Emmy Award for Veep (2012)] This is so much good fortune it is almost too much to bear. I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to make people laugh. It's a joyful way to make a living.
