NEW YORK, April 10 (UPI) — Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ name was initially misspelled on her Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
The 54-year-old actress revealed as much in an interview Thursday on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Dreyfus was honored with the iconic plaque in 2010, and discovered her name read “Julia Luis-Dreyfus” less than an hour before the ceremony.
“Somebody who works for me comes running in,” she recalled. “She goes, ‘Listen, I gotta tell you something. I got some bad news.’ And inexplicably I said to her, ‘They spelled my name wrong.’ And she said, ‘Yeah, they did.’”

Louis-Dreyfus’ name was corrected on the star, but the actress kept the misspelled piece of stone for her office. She joked about the incident to host Jimmy Fallon, saying, “It really keeps you grounded, you know? Just when you think you’ve got it all, they yank it away.”
Louis-Dreyfus came to fame on NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, and is best known for portraying Elaine Benes on NBC sitcom Seinfeld. The actress currently stars on HBO comedy Veep, which will return for a fourth season Sunday at 10:30 p.m. ET.
