She attended Norwell High School in Norwell and Cambridge School of Weston in Weston, Massachusetts, and then Emerson College in Boston and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City.^[4] During college, Coolidge aspired to be a dramatic actress similar to Meryl Streep, but instead pursued comedic character acting.^[5] As a student at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Coolidge worked as a waitress in a restaurant alongside Sandra Bullock, who also aspired to be an actress.^[6]

Career

[edit]

1993–1999: Early career

[edit]

Coolidge made her first television appearance in the November 1993 Seinfeld episode "The Masseuse".^[7] In 1994, she was a regular on She TV, a short-lived sketch comedy that also featured Nick Bakay, Elon Gold, Simbi Khali, and Linda Kash.

She worked with The Groundlings, an improv and sketch comedy troupe based in Los Angeles.^[8] In June 1995, Coolidge unsuccessfully auditioned for Saturday Night Live.^[9]

1999–2006: Film breakthrough

[edit]

In 1999, Coolidge got her big break playing Jeanine Stifler, or "Stifler's mom" in American Pie. The film was a box-office hit and grossed $235 million worldwide.^[10]^[11] In 2001, she reprised her role in American Pie 2. Later in that same year, she had a supporting role in Legally Blonde as Paulette Bonafonté Parcelle the manicurist. Legally Blonde was a box-office hit, grossing US$96 million domestically.^[12] The film's box-office success led to her reprising the role in its 2003 sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, but the movie was not as financially successful as the first and generated mostly negative reviews.^[13] In 2003, she again played Stifler's Mom in American Wedding.

In 2003, she played the protagonist's agent Luise in Testosterone filmed in Argentina starring David Sutcliffe as Dean Seagrave and Antonio Sabato, Jr., as Pablo. In 2004, she had a supporting role in the romantic comedy A Cinderella Story playing Hilary Duff's character's vain, self-absorbed stepmother. The film went on to become a moderate box office hit despite negative critical reviews.^[14]^[15]

She has appeared in 2001 on Frasier as Frederica, Martin Crane's new physical therapist, in 2003-2004 in 3 episodes of According to Jim, playing Roxanne, Jim's sister, and in 2003 in an episode of Sex and the City. Coolidge nearly received the role of Lynette Scavo on Desperate Housewives, but it eventually went to Felicity Huffman.^[16]

In 2003, she starred in an episode of Friends in its final season as Amanda, an obnoxious acquaintance whom Phoebe Buffay and Monica Geller try to shake off. From 2004 to 2006, Coolidge had a role in the NBC comedy series Joey as Joey Tribbiani's oversexed agent Roberta "Bobbie" Morganstern. During its second season, she went from a recurring character to a more prominent role, appearing in 37 out of 46 episodes in the series. NBC officially canceled the series in May 2006, citing low ratings.^[17]^[18]

Coolidge also appeared in 1998 in the children's comedy Slappy and the Stinkers, and as the voice of Aunt Fanny in the animated feature Robots in 2005. The film was accompanied by an original short animated film based on Robots, titled Aunt Fanny's Tour of Booty, in which she reprised her role.^[19]^[20] In late 2005, Coolidge was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.^[21] From 2000 to 2006 she played comic parts in the improv mockumentaries Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration, all directed by Christopher Guest.^[22]

2006–2011: Television roles

[edit]

In 2006, she guest starred on an episode of Top Chef, and played Adam Sandler's wife's friend, Janine, in the comedy film Click. She appeared in the 2006 film Date Movie as a spoof of Barbra Streisand's Meet the Fockers character. The film received unfavorable critic reviews and Rotten Tomatoes ranked the film 77th in the 100 worst reviewed films of the 2000s, with a rating of 6%.^[23] However, Variety did praise Coolidge for providing a few bright moments with a spot-on spoof of Streisand, albeit otherwise unimpressed describing the film as "padded and repetitious".^[24]

Epic Movie, released in 2007 and made by the same people behind Date Movie, was the first movie in which she received a starring role. In the film she played the "White Bitch" (the White Witch) of Gnarnia (Narnia), a lampoon of the Disney and Walden Media film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. A. O. Scott of The New York Times called the film "irreverent and also appreciative, dragging its satiric prey down to the lowest pop-cultural denominator" and added, "The humor is coarse and occasionally funny. The archly bombastic score ... is the only thing you might call witty. But happily, Jennifer Coolidge and Fred Willard show up ... to add some easy, demented class."^[25]

During 2007, Coolidge appeared on Thank God You're Here and The Closer, on TNT. In 2008, she guest-starred on The Secret Life of the American Teenager as a call girl.^[7] In the second season, she was a frequently recurring character, now playing the fiancé of Ben's dad and future stepmother of Ben. She also starred in the 2008 Lifetime Television film Living Proof. Coolidge appeared in the 2008 film Soul Men as Rosalee.^[26]

In 2010, Coolidge appeared in another film starring Hilary Duff titled Beauty & the Briefcase, an ABC Family television film produced by Image Entertainment that originally aired on April 18, 2010.^[28] It was based on the novel Diary of a Working Girl by Daniella Brodsky.^[29] The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the US on February 8, 2011.^[30]

In 2024, Coolidge starred in and executive produced Dito Montiel's comedy film Riff Raff. She told Forbes that, when she was offered the role, "I've never been offered a part like her. […] There’s a certain woman that I've played quite a few times - some sort of rich, spoiled woman or something, but this was something very different. This was someone who had a pretty decent beginning of her life, but ended up not desired by her ex-husband anymore and very lost."^[52]
