Jennifer Coolidge became an overnight sensation after the release of the first American Pie in 1999. In the end, it was thanks to her heroine that the word MILF (“milf”) appeared, which stuck to the actress for many years. The other day, the 60-year-old actress became the heroine of the cover of the new issue of Variety and gave the publication a long interview in which she told how participation in the cult project affected her life.
There were many benefits to filming this movie. There were at least 200 people there to potentially sleep with,” the actress joked, keeping her sexualized persona in check.
Coolidge noted that after the release of the comedy, the attention of not only the press and the public, but also representatives of the film industry was riveted to it. Literally everyone was interested in her intimate life.
Maybe it was because people kept seeing me as Stifler’s mom. They would see something more … And then, people who would never set foot on my doorstep, suddenly wanted to become a part of my life.
The star also admitted that she almost turned down her last role as Tanya in the White Lotus series, despite the fact that the creator of the project and Coolidge’s close friend Mike White wrote this role especially for her.
I didn’t like the way I looked,” she said, admitting that she had put on a lot of weight during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, then the actress had no idea what a big hit the series would become. She was also pleasantly surprised that White gave her a colossal amount of screen time.
The most pleasant feeling, as if the coach asked other players to let me kick the ball more often.
Recall that according to the plot of “American Pie” the heroine Coolidge seduces a classmate of her son Stifler – Paul Finch, played by Eddie Kay Thomas. The actress made her image truly iconic. After a resounding start in the first picture, Coolidge was invited to star in the sequels “American Pie 2”, “American Pie: Wedding” and “American Pie: All Assembled”. Among other film projects of the actress are “The Heartbreak Club”, “Legally Blonde”, “A Cinderella Story” and a small role in the TV series “Friends”, as well as the last bright appearance in “White Lotus”.
