Jennifer Coolidge may be nominated for an Emmy, but that isn’t the only honour she appreciates.
The “The White Lotus” actress, who has her role in the HBO dramedy up for an award for outstanding supporting actress in a limited or anthology series or film, recently thought back on the influence of her “American Pie” persona.
She played the character of a sensuous mom and it changed her personal life drastically.
In the 1999 comedy, which also starred Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, and Thomas Ian Nicholas, Coolidge portrayed the part of Stifler’s mother. In a Wednesday interview for her Variety cover, Coolidge was questioned about her preference for the titles “first-time Emmy nominee” or “MILF,” the latter being a nod to her seductive “American Pie” character.
She also revealed that this role brought a lot of ‘sexual action’ into her life. She also claimed to have slept with around 200 people after doing ‘American Pie.’
She said, “I was so happy for American Pie and the MILF thing. I got a lot out of being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie,” the 60-year-old actress told Variety.
“There were so many benefits to doing that movie. There would be like 200 people that I would never have slept with,” she added.
In ‘America Pie’, Coolidge’s character had a sexual affair with her son, Stifler’s classmate. The movie also stars Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott and Chris Klein among others.
