Julia Louis-Dreyfus has had an extraordinary Emmy-winning career, with six consecutive wins for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Selina Meyer in Veep.
Louis-Dreyfus's portrayal of Selina Meyer is praised for embodying the narcissistic, ambitious, and incompetent qualities that people dislike about American politicians.
Louis-Dreyfus's performance in Veep benefits from HBO's lack of censorship, allowing her to deliver profanity-laced and complex insults that enhance her comedic talent and showcase her acting choices.
