Due to her famed performance in the 1999 film “American Pie,” Jennifer Coolidge has admitted that she has slept with 200 different individuals.
On the strength of the movie’s success and its sequels, the 60-year-old actor who portrayed Jeanine “Stifler’s Mom” Stifler rose to fame. He even helped popularize the term “MILF” (Mother I’d Like to F***) in reference to a line from the movie.
The actress joked she ‘got a lot of action’ on the back of her infamous role. Speaking to Vareity, she said;
“Ya know, I got a lot of play being a MILF.
“And I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie. There was so many benefits to doing that movie … There would be, like, 200 people that I would never have slept with.”

Because to her performance, she was given the opportunity to reprise her character in American Pie 2 (2001), American Wedding (2003), and American Reunion (2012). She also got roles in Legally Blonde and A Cinderella Story, as well as a small role in Friends, an enduring sitcom.
Prior to American Pie, the actress struggled to find acting job. She claimed that after years of rejection, she felt as though she had nothing to lose rather than being depressed.
She added;
“The fear is gone when you’re so used to losing. There’s some freedom in that.”
Later, Jennifer was cast by the film’s director and friend Mike White in the role of Tania in the 2021 film The White Lotus.
“Some jobs, I’m sort of going, ‘Wow, this isn’t worth working for.’ What Mike [White] wrote, I was staying up late every night,” Coolidge admitted, referring to the “White Lotus” creator who convinced her to be a part of the series.
The “Best in Show” actress admitted that she almost refused to take the role. She is now preparing for the show’s second season, which premieres in October 2022.
