Jennifer Coolidge "got a lot of play" after taking on the role of Jeanine Stifler, "Stifler's mom," in the 1999 movie "American Pie." Coolidge, 60, spoke to Variety and shared the "benefits" of her role as a "MILF" in the film. "I got a lot of play at being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action from ‘American Pie,'" she told the outlet. "There were so many benefits to doing that movie.

I mean, there would be like 200 people that I would never have slept with." Jennifer Coolidge said that her role in "American Pie" allowed her to sleep with 200 people.

"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 said of "White Lotus" creator Mike White. "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." Jennifer Coolidge portrayed Jeanine Stifler in the 1999 film "American Pie." (Getty Images) Coolidge noted to the outlet that she almost walked away from the role when White presented it to her.
