Though the time for Julia Louis-Dreyfus on SNL in the early 1980s was brief, it served as the launching pad for one of the most decorated and successful careers in television history. As one of the youngest cast members ever hired, she didn’t get a chance to create many signature characters. However, it was on SNL that she met writer Larry David. This connection would later lead to her iconic, Emmy-winning role as Elaine Benes on Seinfeld. She would go on to win a string of additional Emmys for The New Adventures of Old Christine and the critically acclaimed HBO series Veep, cementing her status as a comedic legend. Her SNL stint was just a footnote in a truly remarkable career.
