Julia Louis-Dreyfus Reveals Her Awkward Real-Life 'Veep' Moment With Hillary Clinton
HuffPost
The "Veep" star said her exchange with the onetime presidential candidate represented exactly "what we were satirizing" on the political comedy series.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus just shared a pitch-perfect example of life imitating art.
The “Veep” star, who portrayed fictional Vice President Selina Meyer in the HBO satire, revealed Monday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once praised her performance in a glowing letter — only for an email leak to divulge Clinton’s true feelings.
Louis-Dreyfus told Stephen Colbert and his “Late Night” audience that it was “exciting” and “divine” to meet Clinton backstage, but then revealed just how similar the show’s fictional Washington, D.C., is to the real-life capital — by merely reading a couple of documents.
The first was a buck slip, or envelope insert, which Clinton sent the actor in 2013.
“It says, ‘Julia you’re a great veep,’” Louis-Dreyfus read aloud with a wink Monday before continuing. “‘Hope you can get gun control, immigration reform and job creation this season. All the best, Hillary Rodham Clinton.’ And it’s dated 1/29/13. Very nice, so nice.”
