From the New York Times, this is the interview.
I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.
At some point in almost every performance she gives, Julia Louis Dreyfus has this look.
If you've watched Seinfeld, the new adventures of old Christine or Veeb, you definitely know it.
It's that perfect mix of irritation and defiance, like shes saying, try me.
That spikiness has always felt revelatory to me, especially three decades ago when Julia was first putting these kinds of women on our screens.
In recent years, shes been moving in new, more introspective directions, but still pushing against conventional wisdom about women.
Thats especially true on her wonderful hit podcast, wiser than me, where she interviews older female celebrities.
Shes also doing more movies, including two independent films with the writer and director Nicole Hollefsiner about the struggles of middle age.
And shes got a recurring role in the Marvel cinematic universe.
Her newest movie is called Tuesday.
Its directed by Dinah Opusich, and in it she plays a mother whose teenage daughter has a terminal illness.
Its a surreal, dark fairy tale.
One of the main characters is a CGI parrot who represents death, and as she told me, she was nervous about taking it on.
Clearly, even in her sixties, Julia is not done challenging herself and those of us watching her.
Here's my conversation with Julia Louis Dreyfus.
Hi, Lulu.
How are you?
I'm great.
How are you?
