She is the fifth cousin four times removed of Alfred Dreyfus (1859–1935) of the infamous Dreyfus affair.

1908

Her paternal grandfather, Pierre Louis-Dreyfus (1908–2011), was president of the Louis Dreyfus Group commodities and shipping conglomerate.

He was a member of a Jewish family from Alsace, and served as a cavalry officer and member of the French Resistance during World War II.

Robert Louis-Dreyfus (1946–2009), her father's second cousin, was the CEO of Adidas and owner of the soccer team Olympique de Marseille.

Julia's New York-born paternal grandmother was the daughter of a Brazilian-Jewish father (whose family was Dutch, English, and Polish).

1950

It was her performance with The Practical Theatre Company at their "Golden 50th Anniversary Jubilee" that led to her being asked to join the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live at the age of 21.

1961

Julia Scarlett Elizabeth Louis-Dreyfus (born January 13, 1961) is an American actress and comedian.

Julia Scarlett Elizabeth Louis-Dreyfus was born in New York City on January 13, 1961.

Her mother, Judith (née LeFever), was an American writer and special needs educator.

1962

In 1962, a year after her birth, Louis-Dreyfus' parents divorced.

She has said that she first noticed her penchant for comedy after sticking raisins up her nose at the age of three, which first made her mother laugh but then led to an emergency hospital visit.

After moving to Washington, D.C., when Louis-Dreyfus was four, her mother married L. Thompson Bowles, dean of the George Washington University Medical School; Louis-Dreyfus gained a half-sister, Lauren Bowles, also an actress.

Due to her stepfather's work with Project HOPE, she spent her childhood in several U.S. states and countries such as Colombia, Sri Lanka, and Tunisia.

1979

In 1979, she graduated from the all-girls Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland.

She later said of the school, "There were things I did in school that, had there been boys in the classroom, I would have been less motivated to do. For instance, I was president of the honor society."

Louis-Dreyfus attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority.

She studied theatre and performed in the Mee-Ow Show, a student-run improv and sketch comedy revue, before dropping out during her junior year to take a job at Saturday Night Live.

It was during her third and final year on SNL that she met writer Larry David during his only year on the show.

David later co-created Seinfeld.

Louis-Dreyfus has commented that her casting on SNL was a "Cinderella-getting-to-go-to-the-ball kind of experience"; however, she has also admitted that at times it was often quite tense, stating that she "didn't know how to navigate the waters of show business in general and specifically doing a live sketch-comedy show".
