The actress, who is now promoting the second season of the HBO anthology series The White Lotus, said she received “a lot of sexual interest” for her obscene portrayal of Stifler’s Mom.
In a recent interview with Variety, Coolidge joked, “I got a lot of play being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action with American Pie. There were a ton of advantages to making that movie. There would have been around 200 people I would never have slept with.
Coolidge’s breakout performance was in the 1999 film American Pie, in which she played a seductive mother who courted the attention of her adolescent son’s friends. Later, she played the same character again in the 2001 follow-up to American Pie and its two spin-offs, American Wedding and American Reunion.
In other parts of the conversation, Coolidge says that her roles in American Pie and Legally Blonde as a nail technician helped her break a long career dry spell and gave her a fresh perspective on auditioning and Hollywood in general.
She claimed, “I’ve gone on auditions for ten years of my life, and none of them have resulted in a job. “When you’re so used to losing, the terror vanishes. That allows for some freedom.
After receiving widespread praise for her portrayal of an emotional heiress in The White Lotus, Coolidge is currently going through something of a professional revival. Coolidge received her first-ever Emmy nomination last month for her work in the ensemble social satire written by School of Rock screenwriter Mike White. Murray Bartlett and Sydney Sweeney were also nominated for their roles in the film.
The White Lotus’ first season, which debuted in July 2021, received a five-star review from NME’s Ralph Jones, who called Coolidge’s performance “amazing” and noted that “we are lucky to have programs like The White Lotus.”
It would take an impatient observer not to be attracted by everything that is constantly bubbling to the surface there.
White is able to strike a balance without making the whole thing seem forced or like the worst elements of a soap opera, according to Jones.
A flurry of events surrounding the second season of The White Lotus precede Coolidge’s statements. Following earlier news of Coolidge’s return to the series and the addition of new cast members Aubrey Plaza, Theo Jones, and Michael Imperioli, an official release date for October of this year was made today (August 5).
