Trivia

  • 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), The New Adventures of Old Christine (2006), Veep (2012)).
  • 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.
  • 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].
  • During a guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (2003), Bradley Whitford revealed that Jane Kaczmarek received a big bouquet of flowers from Julia the day after the Emmy Awards. Both Jane and Julia were nominated in the category Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and Jane had been highly tipped to win for Malcolm in the Middle (2000) but the Emmy was given to Julia for The New Adventures of Old Christine (2006). With the bouquet was a card with the words "You Got Screwed".
