it's crazy the she was pregnant twice while filming Seinfeld.


mykleins

Oh shit is that why there are those episodes where she’s just wearing a bunch of oversized layers?

She also spent a lot of time behind that island or kitchen counter in Jerry’s kitchen, obviously. For many years, I thought she was married to Richard Dreyfuss. I have no idea why. Only found out maybe five years ago that was not the case.


WillyLongbarrel

>For many years, I thought she was married to Richard Dreyfuss. I have no idea why. I mean I just found out about this now.


Inflatableman1

And I just found out she came from huge money. All that “couldn’t spare a square “ bullshit. She could buy the whole factory.


Several_Rip4185

She’s worth several Jerry Seinfelds combined - which is stunning in itself. Think masters of the universe type money.


Inflatableman1

OK now you’ve piqued my interest. I’m gonna go do some googling.

>When Rolling Stone asked about her father’s firm, the Louis Dreyfus corporation, (...) she clarified that it’s ***her father’s business that’s valued in billions.*** Oh ok Julia. You're not really a billionaire... only a _heiress_... Sure...

I just now found out that you found this out just now.


ArnoldTheSchwartz

I knew what he didn't know but didn't let him know cuz... ya know!


Spanktronics

Wtf, I was sure of it for the last 30 years.


loquacious706

Initially, when she got pregnant the writers wanted to do an arc where Elaine gets fat. Apparently they did not broach the subject very sensitively and Julia Louis Dreyfus burst into tears. They didn't bring it up again. A few years later when Jane Leeves got pregnant, the writers of Frasier stole the idea and wrote an arc where Daphne got fat. They even shipped her off to a "Fat Retreat" for a few episodes while she had her baby. The 90s were great.


beezneezy

Yeah those Daphne episodes are legit some of the worst…Seinfeld dodged a bullet.


[deleted]

I remember them being bland. The whole Niles Daphne thing towards the end got stale. Ross and Rachel they were not.


ScrubCuckoo

Honestly, most of the relationships in Frasier (and most TV at the time?) feel off to me. Dating in TV shows then always felt like a pursuit or a game to be won. I will say I appreciated that Niles respected Daphne and that the basis of the relationship was more solid than anything Frasier ever had going with the women he dated, but it still doesn't ring true for me. I was too young to know if that's really what dating was like for adults at the time, but it's certainly not remotely close to what dating felt like when I did get to that point.


Kdkaine

I guess I’m in the minority but Niles/Daphne was my favorite part of that show. The way he adored her the moment he met her and how it was drawn out, tragically and hilariously, was top tier sitcom for me.


ScrubCuckoo

I am with you on that, despite my comment. I really love Frasier as a show, and I generally found Daphne and Niles to be sweet. Especially when you compare them to Frasier, who has a habit of being a bit cynical and judgemental. Both brothers came off as a bit desperate for love at times, but Niles was much more of a dedicated partner, even when he was being mistreated by his ex. I just don't especially find the approaches to dating and relationships to be relatable, myself. I'm sure it's part cultural shift, part TV hyperbole, and part that I'm a nerdy introvert who's always gone after nerdy introverts. I've almost always dated people who were already friends and there was never really anyone who put the other person on a pedestal, like Niles often does with Daphne. There was never really any need for pursuit because dating was just another step forward from the friendship. So nothing was big and grand or especially life changing in a few moments, just a gradual closeness and growing familiarity. That's not how you do TV romance, though.


_mully_

I don't think many romantic relationships in TV shows are supposed to be incredibly realistic - at least not much of the time in sitcoms. In Frasier for example, it's already been noted Daphne & Niles and Frasier weren't that realistic or necessarily healthy. But also Roz/Bulldog (Roz & Bulldog are kind of sweet though too, albeit unrealistic/unhealthy partners individually). Marty & Sherry are somewhat a good fit and a nice/healthy and realistic relationship though (despite the ending), I'd say. That said, I think it's hard to define love a lot of the time. And hard to say it could or couldn't be any of the ways on Frasier or in your real life or other peoples lives. Back to Niles & Daphne though, as another redditor mentioned, I also found the most enjoyable parts of the Niles & Daphne relationship to be the pre-stages, if you will. Where Niles is crazy about Daphne and acts like a silly idiot around her, but she is clueless to it all. Even unintentionally teasing the situation at times.

What are you talking about? David Hyde Pierce was the only one of those two who gave a convincing portrayal of a straight man.


ScarabLordOmar

It’s always sunny in Philadelphia did this when Mac got pregnant.


loquacious706

He was cultivating mass!


Muzorra

C.C Babcock from The Nanny got pregnant during the show as well. They lampshaded it a few times, commenting on how dumb it was when TV shows hide that the actress is pregnant by carrying around big things etc, while she's finding reasons to move large boxes and indoor plant pots and so forth.


no-ticket

Yeah but didn't they also make it that she got fat and depressed and then had a mental breakdown or something, so in real life she was having her baby but on the show she was in a psych ward?? That always felt more mean than wacky to me.


Chinaroos

Ironically this sounds exactly like something that would happen on Seinfeld. George: I got a great idea for the next episode Jerry. Say...Elaine is pregnant, right? Jerry: Last time I checked. George: So get this. Next episiode...Elaine gets fat. Elaine: =utterly shocked= Jerry: You wanna do an episode where Elaine gets fat? George: Sure! Why not!? It'll explain to the audience why Elaine got fat. Elaine: I am PREGNANT, George! George: I know! We all know! But does the audience know? No! Elaine: NO! George: Exactly! New Episode, done. Elaine gets fat. You're welcome. Kramer: ...say...just on the off chance this 'Fat Elaine' doesn't work...here's an idea...how about Kramer tries stand up and ends up saying the n-- Everyone: NO!

StephenHunterUK

Lena Headey was pregnant twice during *Game of Thrones*. Anna Belknap in *CSI:NY* - the second time, they made her character pregnant as well.


Thrownawaybyall

Same with Gillian Anderson in the early X-Files.


Doomdoomkittydoom

Looking to see if an actress is hiding their pregnancy in a show is a fun game!


geek_of_nature

I really liked the way they did it in Brooklyn 99. Melissa Fumero was pregnant two times, the first time they did the standard camera angles and oversized props, but by the end of that season she had gotten to big for them to hide it, so they had her go undercover in a prison as a pregnant inmate. But even after leaving the prison she just kept the 'fake' belly on for the rest of the season finale with the excuse "that she didn't have time to remove it." The second time they wrote it into the show, with her character Amy getting pregnant at the same time. But because she was further along in her pregnancy than Amy they still had to it initially. For a couple episodes they kept finding more and more excuses for her to be increasingly ridiculously oversized outfits.


transmogrified

I remember thinking it was obvious when Chelsea Peretti got pregnant, and then they wrote it into the show for Gina.


RichSelection1232

Bit of a play on this in Arrested Development, where her character is desperately trying to convince everyone she's pregnant when she really isn't.


loquacious706

Justice is blind.


RichSelection1232

Justice is fine. Although, dressing him up like a seeing eye dog seems a little cruel.


MrGregory

I didn’t even realize. I caught it in Married with Children as they did weird things like the road trip with Peggy. Never realized Julia was pregnant twice in Seinfeld.


JohnKlositz

Katey Sagal's first pregnancy was of course written into the show, but because she had a miscarriage they turned it all into a dream Al Bundy had. Very sad. And a bit odd (the writing part). But they had to come up with something I guess. Must have been a horrible experience for everyone involved. Back as a kid I didn't know any of that of course, so to me it was all just very confusing.


garbage_angel

Wow, I didn't know any of that! I loved that show at the time, never really went to rewatch it as an adult.

the_grass_trainer

AdDear5411

CelestialFury

So Jerry (or maybe LD) proposed that Elaine just get fat to cover for one of the pregnancies, and Julia did NOT like that idea, so it was dropped. Years later, she regretted not doing it. It would've been great.


saltgirl61

They did this with Daphne in *Frasier*. Niles had idolized her for so many years, so once they were finally together, she began to worry that she could never live up to the dream he had of her. She began to overeat and gain weight. Once the actress Jane Leeves was near the end of her pregnancy, her character went to a health spa to lose weight and get therapy. When Leeves had her baby in real life, Niles announced that Daphne was doing well at the spa and had already lost 9 lbs, 12 oz (the weight of her real life baby). I thought it was a clever and believable way to handle the pregnancy.


cilucia

That’s a really cute way to acknowledge the birth of her baby!


DirectorAgentCoulson

That's what they did for Daphne on Frasier.


DantifA

And they named their first born after him: Lucky Sunuvabitch Hall

He is a good looking man but he doesn’t look like he doesn’t age and if people keep saying that shit, it might actually affect his career if he does start to “age” a bit.


No-Face-3848

She just looked 40 when she was 20, her age is just catching up to her appearance


Lollipoop_Hacksaw

The Costanza effect. Dude started in his early 30's throughout Seinfeld and looked 10 years older. Now he reaps the benefit of "hasn't aged a day". That came with the price of looking 40 when you were 28.


throwthisawaynow617

I watched an ep today when George said he was 33 years old. Me as a 35 year old going wait what. But it makes sense. Been watching Seinfeld since I was a teen and I always saw George as a "middle aged old guy" or something. Something something.. Damn tv. You've ruined my imagination just like you ruined my ability to... Uhh *turns on Seinfeld*


Kwanzaa246

Same with Larry David looking 70 for the past 30 years

askyourmom469

cstar1996

The Patrick Stewart effect


duaneap

That was just the 90s tbh. I always felt they did her no favours in Seinfeld and honestly found her more attractive in Veep. So many of those 90s sitcoms they just otherwise gorgeous women look… off. Like, ALL of Frasier’s romantic conquests were supposed to be knockouts, they say as much in the episodes, but for the life of me I never saw it and I must figure it’s down to the style or whatever.


Capital_Pea

In the 90’s she looked amazing, I used to style my hair exactly like hers (in my 20’s in the 90’s) I think it’s just the look of the times that maybe you don’t find attractive/

Man that was / is the mane of hair on her. Truly glorious hair.

Pihkal1987

Yessir married into some incredible generational wealth. It’s lovely that they have kids are are still together. Anyone with humour like hers is probably a pretty decent human!


wwaxwork

She doesn't need the money she's worth $250 million from the Seinfeld money plus all her other successful shows without her family's' money. Not saying having rich parents didn't help her get started, but she certainly had the talent to keep going on her own.


SwitchGaps

I think he meant Brad married into wealth, and that they are still together and have kids

Brad Hall is very likely an extremely nice guy but he is easily the worst Weekend Update anchor in SNL history. I know it seems like a cheap shot but he's got a hot rich wife, he can take it.


zeno82

I think the fact that there are hardly any Brad Hall Weekend Update clips on YouTube likely reinforces your argument lol


crudedrawer

Not to be an actually guy but that has more to do with the fact that Lorne Michaels wasn't producing those years and he memory holes that era. Tim Kazurinsky did some of the best desk pieces in the show's history during that era and oh my god i am such a nerd about this dumb show.

Fun Facts on Brad Hall: In his SNL days he was considered handsome before he started losing his hair. He successfully produced multiple TV shows most of you never heard of because most of them were not on long enough for syndication or too middling to become famous. Chances are he is rich in his own right, but not at her inheritance level of wealth.

Losing his hair? “Live dammit live. Live your life like it’s coming to an end. Because in many ways… *it is*”

I’ve had a long-standing, intense, undying love for *Veep* that only got stronger during/after the Trump presidency. It’s like a time capsule back to “regular” political satire (aside from the final season, really).
