JULIA LOUIE DREYFUSS: HER FATHER HAPPENS TO BE A BILLIONAIRE!

This week our esteemed colleague, Montecito Journal gossip columnist Richard Mineards, reminded us of just how wealthy Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, 53, really IS. Julia, who lives in Montecito with her husband Brad Hall and two sons, made a HUGE name for herself starring as the lovable crackpot Elaine on Seinfeld for nine seasons. (Her vintage frocks and 40’s jackets were a big fashion influence in those years.) At that point she could have retired. but she went on to score another hit with HBO’s VEEP. Financially, she is a very successful actress, and it runs in her family. Julia’s businessman father William Louis-Dreyfuss admits Julia was “always funny “ but he was surprised by her success. William is estimated to be worth 3.4 BILLION dollars, so the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, did it?

"Seinfeld" Giant Baby Kirstie Alley Michael Richards

MICHAEL RICHARDS GETS ANOTHER CHANCE…

#michaelrichards #janetcharlton

We’re starting to think that Kirstie Alley’s new TV Land series “Giant Baby” is shaping up to be a potential winner. Kirstie plays a Broadway star named Madison Banks, whose long lost son appears in her life after his adopted mother dies, and changes everything. Rhea Perlman plays Madison’s wise-cracking assistant/best friend, and Michael Richards has just been cast to play her limo driver. Richards behavior has long been problematic – we witnessed an incident in a restaurant where he was quite boorish to a fan. But the Seinfeld star IS undeniably funny, and we look forward to seeing this group work together.

"Seinfeld" Jerry Seinfeld Larry David Money

“SEINFELD” CREATORS JERRY SEINFELD AND LARRY DAVID ARE SHARING BILLIONS -THEIR COSTARS GET NADA

We were staggered to learn that the TV series “Seinfeld” has earned an amazing $2.7 BILLION DOLLARS since it went OFF the air 12 years ago. According to the NY Post it is the most profitable half hour in TV history. 180 episodes of Seinfeld were made during it’s 9 year run – and that adds up to each show earning 14 million so far. This means that Jerry Seinfeld and his co-creator Larry David have taken in hundreds of millions each for RERUNS of the show. Unfortunately, costars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards get NOTHING from syndication. It doesn’t seem fair. The only other series likely to top Seinfeld’s earnings someday is “The Simpsons.”
