LouisDreyfus Maternal Halfsister Lauren Bowles Is Also An Actress Appearing With Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s
Louis-Dreyfus’ maternal half-sister, Lauren Bowles, is also an actress, appearing with her on Seinfeld and The New Adventures of Old Christine, as well as on Veronica Mars and in the film Ghost World. While on SNL, she met writer Larry David, who would later co-create Seinfeld. On the “Notes About Nothing” featurette on the Season 1-2 DVD, Jerry Seinfeld says that Louis-Dreyfus’ ability to eat a peanut M&M without cracking the peanut aptly describes the actress: “She cracks you up without breaking your nuts”. The series debuted on CBS in March 2006 to an audience of 15 million and was initially a ratings winner for the network. Louis-Dreyfus appeared with former Seinfeld mates Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld in the opening monologue, parodying the so-called “Seinfeld Curse”.
