Julia Louis-Dreyfus pays tribute to James Gandolfini on 10th anniversary of his death.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus remembers James Gandolfini, who died of a heart attack 10 years ago, as a tender-hearted, vulnerable guy, unlike his ruthless character Tony Soprano. She worked with him in the 2013 film "Enough Said," where he played a soft-spoken single dad. Director Nicole Holofcener remembers Gandolfini's playful attitude on set and how he was charming, sexy, and sweet, despite feeling miscast. Gandolfini's son, Michael, played a younger version of Tony Soprano in 2021's "The Many Saints of Newark," and his performance was praised for its uncanny resemblance to his father.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus shines in brutally honest comedy "You Hurt My Feelings".

You Hurt My Feelings, directed by Nicole Holofcener and starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, is a comedy about a quartet of people contending with the realization that their future may not be as successful or fulfilling as they had hoped. The film finds humor in whole situations and contexts rather than in quotable one-liners, and Louis-Dreyfus displays her expertise in puncturing her character's small everyday vanities while also showing the real pain and confusion that underlie her often maddeningly self-sabotaging behavior. Despite some critics dismissing it as a trifle, the film's existence and persistence in a movie landscape filled with plotlines involving cybernetic pterosaurs firing Sidewinder missiles is something to be protected and cherished.
