Born Jan. 13, 1961, in New York City, Julia Louis-Dreyfus honed her comic skills as part of Chicago's famed Second City improv troupe before joining the cast of "Saturday Night Live" in 1982. The two-year gig led to small parts in Hannah and Her Sisters and the politically incorrect Soul Man (both 1986).After the sitcom "Seinfeld" came into her life in 1990, Louis-Dreyfus would forever be associated with her character, Elaine Benes, the lone female in a tight-knit group of actors that included Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards.
