Fans discuss whether Elaine's character is based on real people, with one poster noting she's reportedly inspired by Carol Leifer and possibly someone connected to Larry David.

I know the characters of Jerry, Kramer, and George are loosely based (if not entirely based) on actual people either known by Seinfeld or Larry David, but was Elaine somebody or was she merely a creation by Seinfeld?

She's a pure hottie. Where were the babes like her when I was dating? I wouldn't have gotten married...

I totally agree :).. But it isn't just her looks. it's her whole way expressing herself, i wonder if see is so extrovert in real life.

Jesus what are you talking about? Elaine is repulsive from feet to that stringy mat of filth on top of its head.

And the character of this succuba is ideal for the equally nauseous, toothy Seinfield.

stringy mat of filth on top of its head.

I'd love to run my fingers through her stringy mat of filth.

Hey Butcher? Slim pickins in here. Why not go find a busier newsgroup to troll?

But would you be able to get your hand out? Or would you want to?

I think I'd like to be able to get my hand out.

What about the cheek?

I need a good cheek.

Is there a pinkish hue? A rosy glow?

No need to get huffy about it. I was just expressing an opinion. Like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....

She is supposed to be based on Carol Leifer who went out with Jerry. She also did some writing on the show. I also heard something about Elaine being based on Leifer and some woman who went out with Larry David.

A friend holds the theory that the Seinfeld clan is entirely male, including Elaine. All characters are written by men and Elaine is very much like the George and Jerry personae. Although Elaine looks like 'a hot babe' as someone in this thread called her, she is in fact behaving exactly like men do. Note the remarkable differences with the flat-characters, objects the Jerry character is dating. The men and women on Jerry Seinfeld are all behaving incredibly like all clich� existing ideas, with Elaine on the side of 'the boys'.

If Elaine wouldn't be on the show, it would have gotten a lot of criticism about the stereotypes it holds high. What Elaine wants and expects from men is exactly the same as what George and Jerry want. But then from women. That's why they all share a common understanding when they are in the diner discussing eachother's ventures with the other sex.

When Jerry says something like "you know what I don't understand with women?", Elaine would always completely agree, on his side as a men disguised a woman, written by these men. The women Jerry talks about are the ones he is dating.

So I wonder to what extent Elaine is like the real life Carol Leifer and the woman who went out with Larry David. Probably only to a limited one-dimensional extent.

Elaine was based on actress/comedian Carol Leifer who is Jerry's ex-girlfriend who became his friend later just like Elaine and tv Jerry. Hope this helps.
