Julia Louis-Dreyfus became the most-decorated actor in the history of the SAG awards on Sunday - days before completing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

The Seinfeld and Veep actress was diagnosed with cancer in September and has since become a public advocate for affordable insurance and healthcare in America. Her first public outing since finishing treatment was on Thursday.

Ms Louis-Dreyfus was unable to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, but won two awards - pushing her career total to nine SAG awards, and the highest number of awards for one actor since they began in 1995.
