Apparently you didn’t see her on Saturday Night Live back in the day… [Skit - The Girls of Saturday Night Live](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5oMU5VAvgE) I will agree that she still looks great. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > When I saw her in some sitcom a few years ago, I assumed they must’ve uglied her up on purpose on Seinfeld in order to make the character less attractive, because she’s pretty meh there (especially that horrible, frizzy hair) but really attractive in everything else. She also seems to have gotten more attractive with age, and that’s pretty rare. I found her appearance in Seinfeld WAAYY hot. More so than she looks today. She was my #1 crush back then. ---

I saw her on some post-Seinfeld sitcom in what seemed to be an old-lady bra, shirt off (A/C was broken or some such thing) and she looked…disappointing. Beautiful during the Seinfeld days though. ---

Love me some Julia. ---

The thread title had me thinking of her smoking a cigar in the J. Peterman office. Nothing sexier than a woman smoking a cigar! [Smmmmmokin’!](http://a.espncdn.com/i/magazine/new/elaine_benes.jpg) ---

> [@well\_he\_s\_back](#): > > why does she always play such dumb or at least dopey characters though? (and don’t tell me Elaine wasn’t dumb - remember the “War & Peace/War - What is it good For” debacle on Seinfeld?) Can’t smart women characters be funny? Don’t forget her Maggie Lizer character on **Arrested Development**. Not only a lawyer, but blind (well, not really, but Justice was) as well. ---

I never found her attractive and I just realized why: we were watching Veep and my wife pointed out that JLD bears a striking resemblance to my sister. ---

To me, that’s one of the least flattering pictures of her. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/julia-louis-dreyfuss-smoking/619176.md?page=1)
