Julia Louis-Dreyfus is an American actress who does the voice of the semi-recurring character of Gloria, who has appeared in "A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love", "I Don't Wanna Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" and "Sex, Pies, and Idiot Scrapes". She is best known for her role as Elaine Benes in Seinfeld, as the title character in the CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine and as the lead character Selina Meyer in HBO's Veep.

Louis-Dreyfus, much like Harry Shearer, was also a Saturday Night Live cast member in the 1980s, only Louis-Dreyfus was a cast member from 1982 to 1985 (from seasons 8 to 10) while Shearer was a cast member once during the 1979-1980 season (season 5) and again on the 1984-1985 season (season 10, which coincidentally had Shearer and Louis-Dreyfus in the same cast, until Shearer quit mid-season). In addition, Louis-Dreyfus became the first female SNL cast member to come back and host (an honor that would have gone to Gilda Radner during the 1987-1988 season, if not for Radner's worsening ovarian cancer and the season itself being cut short due to the 1988 Writers' Guild of America strike), is the only SNL cast member to be married to a fellow cast member (Brad Hall, who was on the show from 1982 to 1984), and is one of three Dick Ebersol-era cast members (joining Martin Short and Eddie Murphy) to come back and host. Meanwhile, as of this writing, Harry Shearer is not married to an SNL cast member and has yet come back to SNL to host or cameo. Louis-Dreyfus' recurring characters on SNL include televangelist April May June, weather-controlling superheroine Weather Woman, teenage correspondent Patti Lynn Hunnsacker, Darla from the SNL version of The Little Rascals/Our Gang, and Latina TV host Consuela (with her friend, Chi-Chi played by Mary Gross). Her celebrity impressions include Diana Ross, Linda Ronstandt, Jo Ann Worley, Wendy Melvoin (one of the band members/female proteges associated with Prince; Lisa Coleman was played by Mary Gross), and Marie Osmond.

For Pixar, she has voiced Princess Atta in A Bug's Life and Laurel Lightfoot in Onward.
