financial status has nothing to do with this. if Julia Louis-Dreyfus were merely concerned with money, then she could have spent her life being a rich slacker bum. creative success/drive is what has kept her working hard to be successful (and talented) all these years. there are loads of wealthy actors/writers/producers who continue to put in grueling hours and it clearly isn't so they can pay their rent (e.g. Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld...). if their careers were merely about money, they would have retired by now. anyone who thinks Julia Louis-Dreyfus's billionaire status has anything to do with her supporting the writers in their cause obviously doesn't have a creative spirit or understanding of the creative drive.

What a blow to the writer's union, Jay Leno associating his lameness on them.

Conan '09!

What the hell does Julia Louis-Dreyfus' financial state have to do with her support of the writers? Whether or not she needs money has no bearing on what is right/fair and she obviously supports fair compensation for hard working people.

She also likes wearing shoes. Just wanted to mention that. Make up your own mind, if you have one.

Yeah, but she probably remembers what it was like to be a starving artist/writer/actor/performer....

Actually, Bash, she's a billionaire through birth:

Yeah well you know... she's a billionaire through marriage. Just wanted to mention that. Make up your own mind.

Tim Kring, Ronald Moore, Tina Fey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and all these other picketing writers/actors/producers are now officially my heroes!

Her husband also happens to be a writer--I think it would be quite grim in her household should she NOT support the WGA.
