Jennifer Coolidge, known for her portrayal of Stifler’s mom, the iconic “MILF” character in the classic comedy “American Pie,” shared insights into her experiences following the success of the film.
In the 1999 hit movie, Coolidge played the role of the mother to one of the main characters, Stifler, and garnered attention for her character’s romantic entanglements with a classmate, earning her the label of a “MILF.”
Coolidge recently delved into her journey post-“American Pie” during an exclusive interview.
Reflecting on her achievements and newfound fame, she discussed the perks that came with embracing the role that catapulted her into the spotlight.
The 60-year-old actress candidly revealed that the film opened doors to encounters with around “200 people” that she otherwise may not have engaged with.
In addition to her memorable role in “American Pie,” Coolidge also reminisced about another beloved character she portrayed – Paulette in the popular “Legally Blonde” film series.
