“Dear Julia,” it began, “Hope you get aggregate you wish as Veep - gun control, clearing and apprenticeship reform.” The card apprehend Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State.

For Louis-Dreyfus, it was added than flattery. Actuality was confirmation, at the accomplished level, of just how abundant her HBO ball had won the account of the choosy Beltway crowd.

Then, some two years later, Louis-Dreyfus would apprentice of a additional certificate - the agenda abaft the note, as it were. This one, anachronous about the aforementioned time and apparent as allotment of a accumulation of apparent Clinton emails, was from the secretary of accompaniment to her then-aide, Robert V. Russo.

“A acquaintance wants me to assurance something for Julia Lewis-Dreyfus for Veep. Any ideas?” Clinton wrote, her catechism (and mangling of the star’s name) suggesting benightedness with the series. Russo responded: “Let me begin on this one/do some research. I acknowledge I haven’t apparent the show!”

When I ask the seven-time Emmy champ whether she was affronted that Clinton ability not be the loyal eyewitness she declared to be, Louis-Dreyfus cocks aback her arch of blubbery atramentous curls and laughs. “Are you kidding?” she says. “I mean, it’s absolute - just perfect.” The joke, she understood, was on her, as if ripped from a Veep script. Louis-Dreyfus - whose on-set hairstylist has formed with Clinton and had relayed the actress’ account to her - keeps both addendum affected ancillary by ancillary in her office.

That aptitude to embrace the amusement of about any bearings helped Louis-Dreyfus, 55, concealment a analogously assured performer, Lucille Ball, to become the a lot of nominated ball extra in television history. She aswell is the alone one to accept taken home Emmys for three altered alternation - Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine and now Veep, for which she has won four after times. One could assuredly altercate she has annihilation larboard to prove on the baby screen; and yet, if Veep allotment for its fifth division April 24, the spotlight will be on her in an absolutely new way. For the aboriginal time, the appearance will be after its auteur, Armando Iannucci, who appear endure bounce that he’d be affective on. Under accustomed circumstances, that may accept apparent the end of the appearance - “When a architect says, 'I anticipate I’m done,’ we usually agree,” says HBO admiral of programming Michael Lombardo - but Louis-Dreyfus wasn’t accessible to abandon the role of Selina Meyer.

“This is not the affectionate of affair that’s traveling to appear forth a lot,” she says over an aboriginal April cafeteria on the fifth-story patio of Freds at Barneys in Beverly Hills. She is all too acquainted that roles like Meyer, a able if absolutely amiss baby-kisser who has risen to the accomplished office, are not getting offered in film, area Louis-Dreyfus has never congenital abundant of a career. “I’m not absorbed in getting the ball this or that or the eye-rolling wife,” she says of the academic roles she abundantly lampooned in the Inside Amy Schumer account “Last F - able Day” (more on that later). “Those roles are out there, and they’ve appear my way, but I’m not accomplishing that. I’m apathetic shitless by that.”

The added acumen she pushed to accumulate Veep going, of course, is that the applesauce of the presidential attack gives the alternation a beginning and starkly altered acclimatization to reality. “Originally, this appearance was meant to be a political satire, and now I feel as if it’s added a black documentary,” says the actress, a longtime Democrat who intends to get complex in the accepted election, admitting if and with whom charcoal a deeply attentive secret. She takes no pains to adumbrate her abuse as she continues: “Certain candidates say things, and if you were to lift the accent and put it into our show, we’d get addendum aback from HBO saying, 'It’s too broad, too over-the-top.’ ”

The real-world challenge and its assembly of larger-than-life characters will not be reflected in any way during the new season, which Louis-Dreyfus insists isn’t acutely altered after Iannucci. To ensure as seamless a alteration as possible, she alone recruited new showrunner David Mandel, with whom she formed on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and has stepped up her captivation as an controlling producer. Castmates say they generally acquisition Louis-Dreyfus on the Los Angeles set on her attenuate nonshooting days, acquaint up at video apple casting $.25 or ecology for continuity. “Julia’s acutely not in the writers allowance every second, but she ability as able-bodied be,” addendum Mandel. “This is actual abundant her appearance now.”
