Former Seinfeld actress, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, surprises readers as she graces the cover of Rolling Stone wearing nothing but the Declaration of Independence.
The four-time Emmy winner’s choice of attire seems appropriate as she plays Vice President Selena Meyer on the HBO political satire, Veep.
"Julia's not just a natural comedic performer – she's a natural comedic brain," Veep creator Armando Iannucci told the magazine. "Once we have a script, she likes to go away and have a real think on what her character would do to react to the reality of every situation.”
The 53-year-old, who started her 30-year career in the business by starring on Saturday Night Live in the 80’s, reveals she knows how rare it is to have a long and successful career in show business.
"There is sexism—I'm not denying its existence," she said. "But I'm saying that I will deny its effort against me. I just pay it no nevermind and say, 'Get out of my way.'"
As for her wardrobe choice, the actress tweeted:
