Julia Louis-Dreyfus Breaks Emmy Record

We knew her as Elaine Benes on Seinfeld, Christine Campbell on The New Adventures of Old Christine and currently she plays Vice President Selena Meyer on Veep, but now, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has a new TV title: Emmy Record Breaker!

After earning another nomination this morning, July 18, for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, the 52-year-old has surpassed the late Lucille Ball's record of having the most Emmy nods (13) as an actress.

She received seven nominations from 1992-98 for Seinfeld, five consecutive noms from 2006-10 for The New Adventures of Old Christine and this past year, an Emmy win for her lead role on HBO's Veep.
