Pregnancy Didn’t Stop These Remarkable Actresses From Staying In Character

Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Pregnancies Were “Shown” In Two Ways

Using baggier clothing and props, such as a handbag, they were able to conceal Louis-Dreyfus’ growing tummy. The second go-around was a whole different story, though.
