"So anyway, I just want to say, Mike White, I love you to death. "This is something all of you, if you don't know Mike White, this is what you should know: He is worried about the world, he's worried about people, he's worried about friends of his that aren't doing well, he's always worried about people, you're worried about animals, and he really is one of the greatest people I've ever ... And I didn't get to say what I really wanted to say at the Emmys, which is Mike White ... I just want to say, this is a real fun night, thank you. I just —you know, it's to you, Mike White." He gives me so much excitement to be—you make people want to live longer, and I didn't. And then the Weiss brothers would keep me going because some of these would go like five different episodes, and five different sequels of American Pie. And then you get older and, oh, s***'s going to happen. "I just want to say, some of the people in this room, there were like five people that kept me going for, you know, 20 years with these little jobs. Then there were these people who would give me these cute little jobs and it would just be enough to get to the next one. "Thank you, thank you so much, wow, and thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press. It's these little jobs that kept me going, it was like five—it was like you, Ryan, and, let's see, we got—who else was there.

Even if this is the end, because you did kill me off, but even if this is the end, you changed my life in a million different ways. “This is something all of you, if you don’t know Mike White, this is what you should know: He is worried about the world, he’s worried about people, he’s worried about friends of his that aren’t doing well, he’s always worried about people, you’re worried about animals, and he really is one of the greatest people I’ve ever … truly, I just want you all to know that I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person, but what happened is they get sort of fizzled by life and whatever.

Seinfeld, shootouts and haunted mansions: how Jennifer Coolidge ... (The Guardian)

After her Golden Globe win, it's full steam ahead for the actor's career renaissance. It's about time, given how long her irreverent, eccentric wit has been ...

She can currently be seen in Ryan Murphy’s thriller The Watcher (Netflix), based on the viral New York Magazine story; and she’s wrapped the romcom Shotgun Wedding, in which she plays J-Lo’s mother-in-law (and in which she once again gets her hands on a gun). White, a longtime friend of Coolidge and a previous collaborator on The Emoji Movie (the less said about which the better) wrote the role of the insecure but kind-hearted heiress Tanya McQuoid specifically with the actor in mind. And she has a vulnerability and insecurity that she isn’t afraid to show. She lives in what she describes as a haunted 19th-century mansion in New Orleans, and greets journalists while holding candlesticks – a far cry from the ditzy, sexualised blonde she’s often portrayed as (what Mike White has described as her “hump-the-furniture” roles). Coolidge was born in 1961, and grew up in a working-class family (her dad was a factory worker, her mother a homemaker) in the tiny town of Norwell (population 11,000) just outside Boston, Massachusetts. If Coolidge had become popular with men thanks to American Pie, then her role as sweet, supportive manicurist Paulette in Legally Blonde endeared her to women – as well as cementing her as a gay icon. Coolidge played a hot, cool mom, the embodiment of what became known in popular culture as a “milf” (mother I’d like to … American Pie led to her second best known turn, in Legally Blonde, a film that also cemented the reputation of Reese Witherspoon. Her ambition was to be a dramatic leading actor, but she made her way with character roles and comedic turns. In 80s New York she did a lot of coke, partied hard, was a regular at the Palladium, and waitressed alongside Sandra Bullock. One of four siblings, she played clarinet as a child and, after graduating in 1985 from Emerson College in Boston, moved to Los Angeles at 21 before enrolling at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. Her long-time fans – always of the opinion that she was one of the most underrated comic actors – couldn’t contain their glee.

Norwell's Jennifer Coolidge is the talk of the town after landing a Golden Globe win for best actress in HBO's social satire 'The White Lotus.'

She can also be seen on Netflix in the Ryan Murphy series “The Watcher” and the horror-comedy “We Have a Ghost,” which is due out later this year on the streamer.

The comedy queen is well-known for her cougarlicious role as "Stifler's mom" in the teen sex comedy "American Pie." In a moment of unfiltered honesty, Coolidge said she'd be onboard for another helping of "Pie." “And then you get older and think, ‘Oh, what the f--k is going to happen?” “They kept me going for 20 years with these little jobs,” she said.

She kept taking the little jobs and hustling in the hope that it might one day to lead to The Big One. She is also a reminder that we really don’t need to hit those life milestones at predetermined times. Aged 61, she is a national treasure with an abundance of opportunities ahead of her. She has become the first 61-year-old to become the It-girl of the people. Her naivety, eccentricity and commitment to heels in the most perilous of situations made her the show’s crowning glory. “I would rather end my life with some great things than to have them happen in my thirties and then have it fizzle out,” she told She also may have been oblivious enough to tell everyone the ending of the show, but in a way that felt so funny it made you forget to be annoyed. She fast became the star of her friend Mike White’s HBO show (he wrote Tanya with Coolidge in mind); her character – a self-absorbed, needy and histrionic heiress with money to burn and a sadness in her heart – reached icon status. After years of being given exclusively one-note buffoon roles, she was finally given the chance to show off her charisma, talent and experience. It takes a lot of fight and determination to keep going in an industry that shows little interest in having you there. For those who watched [The White Lotus](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/beauty/hair/a42254321/lucia-white-lotus-hair-bob/), it all felt very Tanya – disarming, funny and with a hint of melancholia. Tanya also would have been decked in Dolce with a blow-dry to rival a royal.
