Jennifer Coolidge's career and dating life transformed significantly

Jennifer Coolidge has shared how her role in "The White Lotus" has positively impacted her career and dating life at the age of 63. In an interview, she mentioned that even though she plays an unusual character, she receives attention from attractive men, saying it is better than during her earlier career. Coolidge reflected on her time between the success of films like "American Pie" and being cast in "The White Lotus." She described a difficult period from 2006 to 2021, where she was typecast and struggled to find good roles. "I didn’t know how to play the game," she admitted, noting that casting agents often only saw her as Stifler’s Mom. Her comeback began when Mike White, a close friend, created the character Tanya specifically for her. She recognized that few directors would have given her that opportunity. Despite winning several awards recently, including an Emmy, Coolidge still battles self-doubt. She expressed amazement at working with notable actors like Bill Murray and Pete Davidson in her upcoming film "Riff Raff." Coolidge revealed her mixed feelings about not returning for the third season of "The White Lotus," after her character was killed off. She called it "eerie" and joked about her character's husband, hoping for his misfortune. In reflecting on her career, Coolidge advised young people to seize opportunities when they arise, mentioning her own regrets about lost chances. On the topic of dating in her sixties, she humorously suggested she might consider relationships with European men, as they seem more open to dating older women compared to Americans.
