JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS SIGNS UP TO PLAY THE MAIN CHARACTER IN HBO COMEDY PILOT
Posted by Adam
JULIA Louis-Dreyfus has signed a deal to star in the upcoming HBO comedy series Veep.
The actress and comedian — who’s best known for her sitcom roles in Seinfeld and The New Adventures of Old Christine — will play the main character, Selina Meyer, a former senator who discovers that being vice president of the United States is nothing like she expected.
The 49-year-old will also be a producer on her new show.
Julia recently insisted actresses who claim to eat whatever they want are full of it.
“I guess some people like to pretend they can eat like [bleep] and look great in their dress,” she said.
She also tried having small meals delivered to her home, but that only lasted a day.
“I tried one of those things . . . I felt like it was a prison sentence, eating that crap,” she said.
