Julia Louis-Dreyfus fühlte sich „in die Enge getrieben“, als sie ihre Krebsdiagnose aus dem Jahr 2017 nach der Produktionsverzögerung von „Veep“ enthüllte: „250 Leute würden nicht arbeiten“

> According to Louis-Dreyfus, who also served as an executive producer, production on the final season of the HBO series had to shut down “for a year” so she could undergo chemotherapy. “Two hundred fifty people weren’t going to be working,” she added, “so I had to make a public thing about it.”

> Even though she had reservations, Louis-Dreyfus said she’s ultimately glad she shared her diagnosis because it allowed her to connect with others who were also battling cancer.

> “The good thing about doing that was that I did have this incredible experience of people reaching out to me asking me for, you know, asking me about my experience going through breast cancer, for advice,” she said. “And I was able to help and there was something unbelievably comforting about being able to do that on the other side of this trauma.”
