Early Life of Julia Louis Dreyfus

Scarlett Julia On January 13, 1961, Elizabeth Louis-Dreyfus entered this world. Her French father, Gérard Louis-Dreyfus, was the chair of the Louis Dreyfus Company, while her American mother, Judith, was a writer and special needs tutor. Her paternal grandfather, Pierre Louis-Dreyfus, was the president of the Louis Dreyfus Group. He was a cavalry officer and member of the French Resistance during World War II and came from a family of Jews in Alsace. She is a distant relative of Alfred Dreyfus of the infamous Dreyfus incident and the great-great-granddaughter of Léopold Louis-Dreyfus, who created the Louis Dreyfus Group, a French commodities, and shipping company, in 1851.

Louis-Dreyfus was born in 1962, and her parents split up the following year. When Louis-Dreyfus was four, her mother married L. Thompson Bowles, dean of the medical school at George Washington University, and the family relocated to Washington, D.C. Louis-stepfather Dreyfus’s was heavily involved with Project HOPE, thus the family moved around a lot as she was growing up. This included stops in Colombia, Sri Lanka, and Tunisia. In 1979, she received her diploma from Bethesda, Maryland’s Holton-Arms School for Girls. Later, she explained, “If there had been boys in my class, I doubt I would have been as motivated to complete certain assignments. One example is that I once held the position of president of the school’s honor society.”

Louis-Dreyfus joined the Delta Gamma sorority as a student at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Before leaving college during her junior year to begin working at Saturday Night Live, she majored in theatre and participated in the student-run improv and sketch comedy revue, Mee-Ow Show. She was awarded an honorary doctorate in arts from Northwestern University in 2007.

Picture Paris, directed by Louis-Dreyfus and co-starring her husband Brad Hall, was shot in May and June of 2011. After working together on the NBC sitcom Watching Ellie in the early 2000s, this was their first project together in almost a decade. Louis-Dreyfus portrayed the starring part of an everyday lady with an exceptional fixation on Paris, and Hall wrote and directed the film. On January 29, 2012, the film had its world premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where it has since gained widespread acclaim. Premiering on HBO on December 17, 2012, it quickly become a fan favorite. HBO announced in early 2011 that Louis-Dreyfus would play U.S. Vice President Selina Meyer in a new comedy series dubbed Veep.

Eight episodes have been ordered for the first season of the show. Louis-Dreyfus’ dual roles as star and executive producer of the show were confirmed. Louis-Dreyfus interviewed Al Gore and another former vice president, as well as senators, speechwriters, chiefs of staff, and schedulers, to get ready for her job. Louis-Dreyfus praised HBO for enabling a “protracted pre-production process,” during which the actors and crew had six weeks to rehearse before filming began.

The first season of the show was shot in Baltimore in the fall of 2011, and it debuted on April 22, 2012. The critical response to the pilot episode was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Louis-performance Dreyfus in particular. The Los Angeles Times claimed the series proved she is “one of the medium’s great comediennes,” while The Hollywood Reporter called Selina Meyer her “greatest post-Seinfeld role to date” and said she gave “an Emmy-worthy effort.” According to the Huffington Post, Louis-Dreyfus is “the most fascinating and inherently funny lady on TV since Mary Tyler Moore” after the success of the first season.

Louis-Dreyfus has garnered numerous awards for her work on Veep, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series on six consecutive occasions (2012–2017).

Veep, on which she worked as a producer from 2012 to 2014, was nominated for three consecutive years for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series but ultimately lost all three years to Modern Family. Nonetheless, the show was crowned the best from 2015 through 2017.
