David, 59, is the star and creator of the HBO hit comedy “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which chronicles the always strange daily doings of its curmudgeonly centerpiece. The TV Larry David’s much put-upon wife is played by Cheryl Hines.

David also co-created the NBC classic “Seinfeld.”

Laurie David produced “An Inconvenient Truth,” the global-warming movie that won the Oscar for best documentary. In April, she accompanied singer Sheryl Crow on a college tour to raise awareness about climate change.
