BIG 5-Oh
BIRTHDAY: January 13
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
“You can only fight age so hard,”
the Emmy-winning star of
Seinfeld and The New Adven-
tures of Old Christine once said.
“Then you just have to stand up
straight and be graceful.” Maybe
her self-assured mix of edgi-
ness and goofy glamour is nur-
tured by her 23-year marriage
to fellow Saturday Night Live
alumnus Brad Hall, or maybe
by their two children. Now she’s
50, and as a sitcom character
said, “Not that there’s anything
wrong with that.” —Bill Newcott
