Jennifer Coolidge won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for her part as the insane heiress on White Lotus, but her appearance as the leggy blonde mom in the wonderfully uncomfortable teen sex comedy American Pie provided some unexpected perks. In an honest interview, Coolidge stated that playing the legendary character in American Pie opened up new options. The role, which became a cultural symbol, enhanced her career while also striking a chord with fans in unexpected ways.
Then, 38-year-old Jennifer Coolidge, Steve Stifler’s mother, made young men’s hearts race. After becoming famous as the most iconic MILF, Coolidge repeated her role in three more films in the American Pie franchise, becoming a mainstream sex symbol idolized by men everywhere. “People that I could never get in the door,” she told the newspaper, “all of a sudden they’re asking me to be part of their things.”
Finally, after years of playing ditzy blondes, Coolidge had the opportunity to advance her career by starring in the HBO popular series White Lotus. She received multiple honors, including her first Golden Globe, for her portrayal of the self-centered Tanya McQuoid, one of the few characters to feature in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Her character, which was widely adored, was killed off at the end of the previous season.
“I am jealous of everyone who is going. “I just want to emphasize that I’m not a good sport about it, but there’s nothing I can do,” she told Today. “When they kill you, you have to accept it,” she added. “Because it means they’re not asking for your costume measurements or anything. It is over! I need to get another thing. I guess I need to make another thing happen.
In a 2022 interview with Variety, Coolidge made an astonishing disclosure. “I got a lot of play at being a MILF, and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie,” she told me. “There were numerous perks to making that film. I mean, there’d be around 200 individuals I’d never slept with.” She went further: “Maybe I got this special attention because people saw me as Stifler’s mom or the Legally Blonde woman.”Later, she clarified that her comment was an exaggeration.
“God, you can’t make jokes in our town, because I made the fatal error of saying, ‘Thank God for that movie, I got to sleep with 200 men,’ or something like that. And, look, I wish I could say that was true, but that was a bit of an exaggeration — so I’m glad you asked,” Coolidge said Ariana Grande during an interview for Entertainment Weekly’s 2022 Entertainers of the Year. However, while she did not sleep with many guys, her love life did become more exciting.”
But it did broaden the pool of attractive individuals – particularly younger males. Despite the fact that everything was legal, we found it amusing to have to… During one tense moment, he began to divulge additional information, but Grande interrupted. “No, I won’t get into the details,” Coolidge said. “But then, the next morning, I informed him I needed a blow dry. Because he was so young, we called his mother to ask where I might get a blow dry. It was so strange what transpired over the phone; it was obvious that we were in the bed together.”
