Julia Louis-Dreyfus Says The Hollywood Walk Of Fame Spelled Her Name Wrong

As someone who is both a substantial fan of the talented and ageless Julia Louis-Dreyfus and who writes about pop culture and entertainment for a living, I can concede that Julia Louis-Dreyfus has a hard name to spell. Even her biggest fan got it wrong! Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever once not copied and pasted it. It’s like, is there a hyphen or no hyphen? One “s” at the end of Dreyfus or two? I DON’T KNOW.

Apparently, this is a recurring issue that Ms. Louis-Dreyfus has to deal with on a daily basis, both with spelling and pronunciation. As she told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show last night, when she was about to accept her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — which is a great honor for those in show business — she found out just beforehand that they had spelled her name wrong.

It’s okay, though, because they totally fixed it. Good as new, right?
