Julia
Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Marie Benes
She was born on
January 13, 1961 in New York, but she was raised
in Washington, D.C. She first began acting in
plays at her school, Holton-Arms School. When she
was determined to become an actress, she went to
Northwestern University, in Chicago, where she
was the only female member of the university's
Practical Theater Company. This group was created
by Brad Hall, to whom she would marry later.
In 1982, when
she was still a college junior, she and Hall
became part of the cast of "Saturday Night
Live", where she came up with imitations of
Liza Minnelli and Linda Ronstadt, and as a
curious hostess in a regular sketch called
"The Julia Show." In 1987, she got
married to Hall in Los Angeles. In 1989, she was
invited to join the cast of "Seinfeld".
In fact, her role was created after an NBC decree
that stated there had to be a female role.
In 1992, the
couple had a son named Henry and in 1997, they
had a second son, Charles. She managed to
disguise her pregnancies by wearing loose
clothing and by carrying large objects in nearly
every episode.

Some of
her lines Kramer:
Listen, I'm gonna get a hot dog at Payapa King.
Elaine: No, wait!
George: You're not going to get
back here in time!
Kramer: I'm starving, I haven't
had any dinner!
Elaine: You can get a hot dog in
the theater.
Kramer: I don't wanna get a
movie hot dog! I want a Papaya King hot dog!
Elaine: Kramer, Jerry is going
to be here any second, and then this line is
going to start moving, and we're going to end up
in the front row.
Kramer: Well, just save me a
seat.
Elaine: No! I don't want to save
seats! Don't put me through that! I once had the
fleece just ripped out of my winter coat in a
seat-saving incident!
In "The
Movie"
Elaine:
What a dope! Er... excuse me, mmm... I'm sorry,
this is... this is kind of embarrassing, but...
there's no toilet paper over here.
Jane [from the stall on Elaine's
right]: Are you talking to me?
Elaine: Yeah. I-I just forgot to
check, so if you could just spare me some...
Jane: No, I'm sorry.
Elaine: What?
Jane: No, I'm sorry, I can't
spare it.
Elaine: You can't spare it?
Jane: No, there's not enough to
spare!
Elaine: Well, I don't need much,
just three squares will do it.
Jane: I'm sorry, I don't have a
square to spare. Now, if you don't mind.
Elaine: Three squares! You can't
spare three squares?
Jane: No, I don't have a square
to spare, I can't spare a square.
Elaine: Oh, is it two-ply?
Because if it's two-ply, I'll take one ply. One
ply! One, one puny little ply! I'll take one
measly ply!
Jane: Look, I don't have a
square and I don't have a ply. [She leaves]
Elaine: No, no, no! Don't,
don't, I beg you!
In "The
Stall"
Interviewer:
Not many people have grace.
Elaine: Well, you know, grace is
a tough one. I like to think I have a little
grace. Not as much as Jackie O...
Interviewer: You can't have a
little grace. You either have grace or you don't.
Elaine: Okay, fine. I have no
grace.
Interviewer: And you can't
acquire grace.
Elaine: Well, I have no
intention of getting grace.
Interviewer: Grace isn't
something you can pick up at the market.
Elaine: Alright, alright. Look,
I don't have grace, I don't want grace, I don't
even say grace, okay?
Interviewer: Thank you for
coming in.
Elaine: Yeah, yeah, right!
