Actress Jennifer Coolidge, who recently revealed that playing the character of Stiffler’s mom in American Pie, slept with 200 people due to her infamous role in the 1999 movie.
The star of Legally Blonde and most recently in White Lotus the 60-year-old told Variety that American Pie brought her more satisfaction than just fame.
“I got a lot of play at being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie. There were so many benefits to doing that movie. I mean, there would be like 200 people that I would never have slept with. Maybe I got this special attention because people saw me as Stifler’s mom or the Legally Blonde woman. So if they see something else …” she said, which proved to be true. People that I could never get in the door — all of a sudden they’re asking me to be part of their things.”

Coolidge also “put it out there” that she would love to be in Lil Nas X’s next video.
The Best in Show actress is most proud of her current role as Tanya McQuoid in Mike White’s White Lotus, which earned her a first Emmy nomination.
Coolidge is currently gearing up for its sophomore season, which airs in October 2022.

“What Mike [White] wrote, I was staying up late every night. I have done one thing really right in my life,” she said.
“I’ve picked great friends. If Mike was never successful, and we just did White Lotus as a play in a little theater where everyone paid 10 bucks to see it, it would still be one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. Because it was a killer job that no one else thought I could do.”
“Whenever I’m lying in bed thinking about what I want to make Jennifer do, I know it’s something that she would not want to do,” White dished, nodding to the actress’ willingness to do just about anything on set. “One minute, she seems fragile, like it’s all going to fall apart, and the next minute she’s sturdy and doing hilarious riffs. Just when you think all hope is lost, she knocks it out of the park.”
White’s chance on Coolidge brought her out of her “obtuse” reputation and entered her into the role of “den mother” — and her remodeled image has bought her more opportunity despite her decades in the business.
“Maybe I got this special attention because people saw me as Stifler’s mom or the Legally Blonde woman. So if they see something else …” she said, which proved to be true.
