Julia Louis-Dreyfus: "I’ve made a career of playing unlikable people. I don’t cotton to likability"

TIME

The Veep star is on the cover of the new issue of Time magazine, in which profiler Molly Ball draws comparidons between the Emmy-winning actress and Selina Meyer. "Like Selina, Louis-Dreyfus has managed to navigate the catch-22 of a business in which likability is power–but power has a way of making women 'unlikable," writes Ball. "Selina is at once a ruthless satire of this kind of double standard and a testament to Louis-Dreyfus’ singular ability to defy it. The audience can’t get enough of Selina, in all her awful glory."
