I think you mean Contessa Selena Allegra de Meyer.
Seriously though, watch Veep, and if you've already seen it, watch it again. JL-D could play this level of self-justifying narcissist politician in her sleep.
Fair enough! I probably should watch it again this winter - great show. I guess I'm not so much surprised that she can do it, but that she is doing it.

Yes, but she's severely underutilized.
Originally she was supposed to appear in the Black Widow post-credits, but we got her a little early during Falcon & The Winter Soldier.
She also had a brief storyline in Wakanda Forever, but that hasn't really gone anywhere.
The Black Widow setup gave us a Hawkeye storyline that didn't really make sense, but it did get Yelana into the main story.
The Falcon & The Winter Soldier story gave us Thunderbolts.
Thunder is finally when she's really doing things, but that film needed a little more breathing room.
I expect she'll be wayyyy out of her element during Doomsday/Secret Wars. (Plus no need to be secretive when the world is falling apart.)
I hope she gets a chance to really shine in the future.

I'm sorry, I meant Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, no offense intended.

And yes, she is killing it.
