Julia Louis-Dreyfus is opening up about her scary 2017 breast cancer diagnosis. The 62-year-old Seinfeld star got real about her health journey at the 2023 New Yorker Festival on Friday (October 6).

She recalled the strange moment when she first got the terrible news. Keep reading to find out what she said… “I started laughing,” the actress shared. “Well, because the night before, I had won an Emmy.

And so, I came downstairs and…the Emmy was there. It was like on the dining room table. I’m coming down to get coffee. My cell phone rings, and it’s my doctor saying, ‘Guess what, you have cancer.’” She continued, “And I’m like, ‘Huh?

What?’ And so, it was a very bizarre juxtaposition. And, of course, I did laugh, and then I became hysterical, crying, because I was terrified, as most people are, or as all people are if they get a diagnosis like that.” “I have a very strong and supportive family, and for which I am eternally grateful, upon whom I relied — sisters, husband, my sons, my mother, my mothers, my stepmother, everybody,” Julia noted.
