From American Pie's hot mom to Austenland's trussed-up romantic, the comic actor talks Upstairs Downstairs, online dating and dead parrots
There are some people who need do next to nothing to be funny. Jennifer Coolidge only needs to appear on screen and you're primed to laugh. Oversexed and undereducated seems to have become her forte.
Currently, she is starring as a vampish Polish cleaning lady in the Us sitcom 2 Broke Girls where her every pout is a treat. Before that, she memorably played Legally Blonde's Paulette, the scrunchied, sweetly frumpy manicurist whose stale romantic life Reese Witherspoon seeks to remedy. But most people know 52-year-old Coolidge as the ur-milf: Stifler's Mom in American Pie. Boozed and sizzling, she sizes up her adolescent prey with the words, "I got some scotch. Aged 18 years, the way I like it." I put to her the truism that it takes a smart person to play dumb.
