I'm always facinated by the many facial expressions JLD uses in her role as Elaine. From her terrific smile to the "Get Out" look to the classic wide-eyed shock when her date takes "it" out. She's not afraid of distorting her face to fit the situation. I was wondering if anyone had a favorite Elaine face.
Elaine gives Great Face
Fans appreciate Julia Louis-Dreyfus's expressive facial acting as Elaine, discussing favorite moments like her fake orgasm reveal and reaction to being the mystery voice on Jerry's tape.
Yes...JLD gives good face. A great JLD face is the episode where she tells Jerry she was faking orgasms. From the stoic ("fake, fake, fake, fake") to the impish ("you didn't know).
She also gives good phone as well.

Julia showed my favorite 'Elaine face' in "The Abstinance" when
she was marvelling at the spinning tires. If you've seen it, you
know what I mean.

This is not a JLD face moment, but I love the faces on Jerry, George, and Kramer at the end of the episode where they found out that Elaine was the dirty talker on Jerry's tape recorded. :)
I like Elaine's body motions when she is describing to Jerry how Kramer saw her naked and how she wasn't going to be able to go on...

How about the opposite episode when George smarts off and tells her she can live with his parents. Classic Elaine face and another shot to George's forehead
That's what I like most about Elaine (JLD), she really gets into it! I love the faces she makes, she seems so natural and down to earth. My fav face has to be the look she gets after the second time she says "the dingo ate your baby". LOVE IT!!

How about the sequence about "grace". Elaine is interviewing for a job as editor. She and her prospective employer are discussing Jackie Onassis. The employer says Jackie had "such grace." Elaine keeps making these faces. Then she meets Mr. Pitt, who takes her out to lunch. He's talking about "grace" and Elaine is sucking on a soda straw and making the most ungraceful faces imaginable. "oh Mr. Pitt! You think I have some grace?" Or how about when someone gives her a compliment and she breaks out with this big smile and starts preening like a 12-year old.
