Julia Louis-Dreyfus has opened up about professional challenges she dealt with as a fledgling actress earlier in her career, at one point facing legal threats from Warner Bros. executives.
The actress, 62, appearing on the Podcrushed podcast Wednesday, said that the studio tried to take a hard tack with her around the late 80s, during a timeframe between her work on the shows Day by Day and Seinfeld.
The Manhattan native said execs threatened to sue her over a development deal she had with Warner Bros. when she was sent the material for Larry David's The Seinfeld Chronicles, which would later become Seinfeld.
Louis-Dreyfus said that her deal had 'a creative out based on the material that was being developed,' which paved her way to play Elaine Benes on the iconic comedy.
Louis-Dreyfus said, 'I was really scared because it was Warner Bros. and I was just this girl who was an actress. I felt very small - because I was.'
