Cancer-free national treasure Julia Louis-Dreyfus joined Jimmy Kimmel in Brooklyn Thursday night, when the “Veep” star shared both good news and her favorite scene from the HBO sitcom. Yes, it was a true Thursday twofer.
“I am good. I am really good,” Louis-Dreyfus said on the ABC late-night show. “I know we have to get this cancer s–t out of the way, so bring on the questions.”
Louis-Dreyfus told Kimmel that she has officially beaten breast cancer and feels “very strong.”
“I’ve got red lips, so what could go wrong?” she said to the uproarious “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on-location audience.
Now doing well and back to work on “Veep,” Louis-Dreyfus continues to make her highly personal battle very public in an effort to spread an important message to legislators.
“Healthcare should be for all,” she said. “I believed that before and I really believe that now.”
