'Veep' Star Julia Louis-Dreyfus Shares Emotional Messages on Final Day of Filming
The "Veep" set was a bittersweet place to be on Wednesday, Dec. 19.
With its seventh and final season on the way, the HBO show just wrapped filming. Saying goodbye wasn't easy for star and producer Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Selina Meyer). She posted multiple photos on Instagram on her last day on set, and she was open about how moved she was.
The tears started even before filming wrapped. Louis-Dreyfus shared a photo after their final rehearsal, and she had already cried off a lot of her eye makeup.
"Just rehearsed the first scene of our final day @veephbo - Guys, this is gonna be a cinch," she quipped.
Her poignant goodbyes didn't end there. Next, she posted a photo of her trailer.
And then Louis-Dreyfus made sure to thank some of the people behind the scenes. She posted a photo with two women responsible for her hair and makeup. (With the crying she did on the final day, we're guessing she spent a lot of time in makeup.)
The actress wasn't the only one who got emotional. Her co-star Tony Hale (Gary Walsh) posted a photo on Twitter about how "blessed and thankful" he feels.
Meanwhile, Timothy Simons (Jonah Ryan) lamented in a tweet how leaving the lot after they wrapped "made it real."
It's been a long road to Season 7 already. The final day of filming comes more than a year after Louis-Dreyfus announced they'd be ending the show. The star's breast cancer diagnosis in September 2017 led to production being put on hold that fall as she underwent treatment. Fortunately, she was able to return to filming in August 2018.
So far, "Veep" Season 7 doesn't have a premiere date, but we're sure fans will be just as emotional as the final episode approaches.
