As someone old enough to have watched that episode of SNL live, all I have to say is Julia is STILL killing it.

[@lotusmojo]

you can say that again...

[@markuss4133]

As much as she killed it then. So not really

[@salmonesque]

It's unnatural how high a regard I have for that woman. Never met her, never will but she reaffirms my faith in humanity. Intelligence, wit, lorry-loads of talent and beauty. Utter legend.

[@lennymwangola3046]

Plus she came from money just worked hard

[@stevenmarctrier]

Couldn't agree with you more.

It is easier to be so personable and loving when all your needs are met and secure for life. Her father was a multi billionaire.

[@MarcosIsABaritone]

She was awarded several times for her role in NAOOC and it was commercially very successful. However, her two other major roles are more discussed because they were genre breaking and singular shows. NAOOC was a traditional sitcom.

[@graham7980]

This woman doesn't age. She looks exactly the same from Seinfeld. I will never get over that dance 💃 move, lol 😆

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

it's called having botox and dermal fillers. She looks very unnatural now. Very sad

[@robb2biago]

JLD is one of my favorite comedians ever! So many iconic roles, a great actress, and a brilliant humanitarian. The scene in Veep, when Selina paints her mothers nails in the hospital brings me to tears, just thinking about it. And then any scene with Puddy, or Wanda Sykes brings me such joy. Mr Pitt, pick a sock! Pick a Sock!! Farts are funny! Love you Miss Julia!

[@cmel7841]

I like everything she is in, Veep - Amazing, Seinfeld, one of the best shows of the past generation. Fun fact about her son Charlie, he was a walk on for Northwestern basketball and Julia attended many of the games. Proud Mom

Nope.

[@pishedbloke]

Her voice, her demeanor and her poise are totally different from Elaine's! That really shows how incredibly talented she is that she can just transform herself into a role which makes us think that's how she is in real life. :D

[@emancipatedtalent]

Yes because Elaine is a fictional character and Julia is an actress. That’s kind of how it works.

[@pishedbloke]

My mom was a classic at that sort of thing .My brother took a course in computer repair . The teacher was a black gentleman from Trinidad .

Love her! She was great in You People as well. Looking forward to the upcoming Marvel with her. I think she can play a villain well. Hey, isn't that Tom Wopat on SNL and not Robert Blake like Jimmy said? That was a weird mix-up. I guess I just watched a ton of Dukes of Hazzard when I was a kid so I immediately recognized him.

[@tvmonte]

No, that's actually Robert Blake in the Little Rascals reunion sketch. He was Mickey in that gang when both Buckwheat and Darla were still part of that group.

[@Kingfisher1215]

Thank goodness she gave us Veep, it’s so hilarious when our current VP does her word salads and her deep dives into things like Venn diagrams, it reminds us how far ahead of it’s time Veep was.
