The White Lotus star got candid about her time playing American Pie's resident MILF
Comedy star Jennifer Coolidge has revealed an unexpected perk of playing one of her most iconic roles, explaining how portraying Stifler's Mom in the
American Pie films helped her get a lot of "sexual action".
Despite appearing in a number of iconic comedy movies throughout the years - notably those helmed by American satirist and
Spinal Tap guitarist Christopher Guest - Coolidge, now 60, scored her breakout role by playing mom to Sean William Scott's frat-boy Stifler in 1999's raunchy teen hit
American Pie.
In addition to being the object of obsession for all of Stifler's high-school pals, Coolidge's role as the character's attractive mum also helped popularise the term 'MILF', which for those who don't know, stands for 'Mum I'd like to F*ck'.
Currently starring in HBO's hit series
The White Lotus, Coolidge recently sat down with
Variety for an interview where she briefly opened up about playing this iconic comedy role. Specifically about how it has helped her boost her credentials in the bedroom.
“Ya know, I got a lot of play being a MILF,” said Coolidge, speaking to the outlet about her time working on this popular teen movie franchise.
“And I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie. There was so many benefits to doing that movie … There would be, like, 200 people that I would never have slept with.”

Coolidge starred in four
American Pie movies between 1999 and 2012, leading all the way to her final appearance (so far) in
American Reunion.
Back in 2018, singer Ariana Grande revealed her love for Coolidge by unveiling her spot-on impression of the star during a visit to the
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
