Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Julia Louis-Dreyfus appeared on Saturday Night Live from 1982 to 1985, but her film debut was in the very weird 1986 horror film Troll. In one scene, her character’s boyfriend (played by her soon-to-be-husband, fellow SNL cast member Brad Hall) arrives at her apartment to find that the troll has transformed her into a nymph.
Louis-Dreyfus of course went on to become one of the most celebrated TV actors ever with Seinfeld, followed by the New Adventures of Old Christine and Veep. She has earned 11 Primetime Emmy Awards, more than any other actor. But in 2013, Tonight Show host Jay Leno made her dissolve into laughter by playing a clip from Troll.
“We never talked about it and there’s a reason for it,” Louis-Dreyfus told Leno, before calling him an a–hole. She added that she agreed to do Troll because it involved a free trip to Rome, joking, “it’s the best moment of my life.”
She doesn’t do horror movies anymore, but she’s excellent in the recent You Hurt My Feelings.
