Julia Louis-Dreyfus BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is commanding the news cycle again, showing exactly why she’s a television and pop culture powerhouse. According to IMDb News, she recently cemented her place in Emmy Award history, now tied with the legendary Cloris Leachman for the most acting wins ever—eight in total. Add three more Emmys for producing Veep, and her overall tally now sits at a mind-blowing eleven, firmly securing her status as one of the greatest comedic talents to ever grace television. Major outlets like Gold Derby and Variety are running retrospectives revisiting her legendary run on Seinfeld, Veep, and The New Adventures of Old Christine, and they’re not shy about calling her career “indisputable” in its influence and impact.

But Louis-Dreyfus is not living in the past. On the Marvel front, both Variety and JoBlo report she’s making headlines with her return as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the hotly anticipated Marvel film Thunderbolts*, which just hit digital platforms July 1 and Blu-ray July 29. In a recent Entertainment Weekly interview, she revealed she’s known about the now-famous “New Avengers” twist for years, ever since Marvel bosses Kevin Feige and Louis D’Esposito first courted her for the role. Still pulling strings on and off screen, her portrayal of the shadowy Valentina is being called one of the MCU’s most intriguing power players.

She’s also getting major love for her hit podcast Wiser Than Me, which just made Time Magazine’s 100 Best Podcasts list. The show is earning raves, especially for Louis-Dreyfus’s interview style: curious, deeply prepared, and unvarnished—her episode with Fran Lebowitz recently prompted headlines for its candor and humor. Upworthy highlighted how she’s using the podcast to elevate perspectives of older women, hosting stunningly open conversations with icons like Sally Field, Jane Goodall, Carol Burnett, and more.

Social media is alive with her July 18 Instagram post where she stands in support of her “friend @stephenathome,” drawing over 280,000 likes and sparking plenty of conversation about her role as both entertainer and advocate.

Looking forward, Julia has a buzzy public appearance scheduled for August 14 at Godmothers in Summerland, where she’ll be in conversation with her husband Brad Hall and journalist Jim Newton, which is already stirring anticipation for candid insights into her life and career, according to Eventbrite. On the business side, AOL recently pegged her net worth at $250 million, noting her legendary Seinfeld earnings and continued success across every medium she touches.

There’s absolutely no slowing her down. Whether she’s making Emmy history, redefining late-career stardom with her podcast, or generating Marvel headlines, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is very much seeing her star—and her legacy—only grow brighter.
