Look Who’s Back on Veep

Sep 5, 2018 | 6:15 AM

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is returning to “Veep” and said it feels “fantastic.”

The star revealed last September that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, just after her sixth consecutive Emmy win for the role of Selina Meyer.

As work began recently on the show’s seventh and final season, Louis-Dreyfus told The Associated Press: “I feel good. I feel strong. I’ve got energy and, yeah, back to my old tricks. It feels like I never left.”

The “Seinfeld” alum has signed on to her first cancer awareness initiative, helping Carolina Herrera designer Wes Gordon design a flower-adorned T-shirt as part of Saks Fifth Avenue’s 20th year raising money through its Key to the Cure program. The limited-edition shirt will sell for $35.

As a survivor, she said she’s often asked to help out. This is the first time she has said yes.

FAST FACTS

Louis-Dreyfus said, “Up to 70 percent of breast cancer survivors who have had a mastectomy are really unsure or unaware of their reconstruction options, and many of those women who desire to have surgery don’t have sufficient insurance or other resources to cover it.”
As this year’s ambassador for the program, Louis-Dreyfus said she wanted a bold statement for the annual T-shirt. It features three poppies and the slogan: “We are fighters & we are fighting for a cure.”
Over 20 years, Key to the Cure has donated nearly $40 million to cancer research and treatment organizations.
