Julia Louis-Dreyfus got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today and her day could’ve been ruined had not been for a CNN producer with a good eye. Someone made a mistake on her star and they spelled her name wrong. Instead of spelling it Louis-Dreyfus, it read Luis Dreyfus on the star. When the CNN producer saw the mistake, he called his contact at the Hollywood Chamber Commerce and they were able to make a temporary fix to the star so that Seinfeld star wouldn’t be upset. When the Emmy winner heard about the error, she thought it was funny and told them to leave it as it was but they had already fixed their mistake. In fact she will get the misspelling as a souvenir! So at least she will always have a memory of this special day that might not have been so special.
BTW she is the first one from Seinfeld to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Can you believe it? I would’ve thought that Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander would also have one, hopefully theirs will be coming soon.
Before Michael Richards became news after he was heckled by an audience member at show, he heckled Andy Kaufman during a skit they were doing together on Fridays. He looks the same now as he did back when he was 31 on that 1981 episode except his hair was more tame.
You might not remember (because I didn’t) but that skit was featured in Man on the Moon and below is the actual footage of Andy Kaufman apologizing for it and another scene that was reenacted for the movie. If you don’t know about this infamous incident you can read about it on Wikipedia.
Can I just say that Andy Kaufman was such a comedic genius who was taken away from us way too soon.
Before Jason Alexander was working for the Yankees in Seinfeld, he would watch the games in the bleachers and drink Canada Dry. How cute does that the 23 year old actor look with a full head of hair in that 1983 commercial?
Before Jerry Seinfeld was a comedian on Seinfeld, he was a courier trying to be one on Benson. The 26 year old looks the same now as he did making his sitcom debut back in 1980 except he was a lot scrawnier back then.
Hollywood Insider is reporting that the 4 original Seinfeld cast members are reuniting for a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode! Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards will all appear in an episode of the HBO show in the fall, but they have no other information.
It will be fun to see the four together again and with their co-creator! Let's just hope their reunion is better than the finale!!!
