Biography:Like other "Saturday Night Live" alumni, "Julia Louis-Dreyfus" made the move to feature films, but she achieved true stardom on TV as Seinfeld's inimitable Elaine Benes. Born to an affluent family and raised in Washington, D.C., Louis-Dreyfus studied theater at Northwestern University. Along with working as a member of The Practical Theater Company, Louis-Dreyfus cut her sharp comic teeth as part of Chicago's Second City troupe. She soon followed in the footsteps of prior Second City-ers "John Belushi" and "Bill Murray", joining the cast of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" from 1982 to 1985 (along with Northwestern classmate and eventual husband "Brad Hall"). Louis-Dreyfus bounced to films with appearances in "Soul Man" (1986), "Woody Allen"'s "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986) and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989), before returning to TV on the second episode of a low-rated NBC primetime sitcom...
