Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia Louis-Dreyfus wasn't always Elaine Benes from Seinfeld. The actress got her big break in the 1986 horror-fantasy hybrid Troll. Louis-Dreyfus plays Jeanette, a struggling actress who is transformed into a wood nymph by the havoc-wreaking troll Torok. Although Louis-Dreyfus may have made a strong first impression, she never returned to the horror genre.
