Julia Louis-Dreyfus Reflects on Fame and Motherhood

Julia Louis-Dreyfus recently reflected on the challenges of balancing motherhood and her rising fame during her time on 'Seinfeld' while appearing on 'Be My Guest with Ina Garten.' The actress, who gave birth to her two sons while filming the show, described the experience as a 'juggling act' that was both super challenging and fabulous. She revealed that during her first pregnancy, production took measures to conceal her growing belly, but by her second pregnancy, the crew was less concerned. Louis-Dreyfus humorously recalled a suggestion from Jerry Seinfeld to write her second pregnancy into the show by saying her character, Elaine, simply 'got fat', which initially upset her but she later thought was a good idea. She also discussed her early career struggles post-SNL, which included a tough period of seeking work before landing her iconic role. Overall, she emphasized the duality of her experience as a working mother amidst the show's immense popularity.
