Jennifer Coolidge Got A Lot Of Action After Playing Stifler’s Mom In American Pie

Jennifer Coolidge About Her Sex Life

While speaking with Variety, the Legally Blonde star opened up about how portraying the character of Jeanine Stifler in 1999's raunchy comedy, American Pie, opened the doors for numerous sexual encounters, telling the outlet, She got a lot of play at being a MILF, and she got a lot of sensual action from American Pie.

There were so many welfares to doing that movie, Coolidge, 60, continued. She means there would be like 200 people that she would never have slept with.

In her breakout role in the iconic movie, Coolidge's character has a fling with Paul Finch, a classmate of her son, Steve Stifler.

Jennifer's First Emmy Nomination

While speaking with the outlet, Coolidge discussed portraying Tanya McQuoid on the HBO series White Lotus – a role that scored the actress her first Emmy nomination.

Praising the show's creator, Mike White, Coolidge said, Some jobs, I'm going, 'Wow, this isn't worth working for.' What Mike wrote, I was staying up late every night.

She has done one thing right in my life. She picked great friends. If Mike was never successful, and we just did White Lotus as a play in a little theater where everyone paid ten bucks to see it, it would still be one of the best things ever to Coolidge. Because it was a killer job that no one else thought I could do.

Coolidge After White Contacted

Last November, Coolidge said she almost turned down the role over concerns about her weight. Coolidge shared that after White contacted her to offer the part, she tried to get out of it because she was too fat.

During COVID, she just let everything go, she explained. She let everything go most of my life, but I let everything go during COVID.

Admitting that she's "vain," Coolidge added, she wanted to look a certain way when you are in a movie. She was not ready for this cool opportunity. It shows that you should always be in the best shape because you don't know.

Luckily, Coolidge said she agreed to take on the role thanks to a smart girlfriend who talked me off the ledge. It's a miracle that happened. What a fluke, you know? She said. I can't believe it. She added that we went and did it and we filmed it, and then people liked it.
