Spoilers ahead:I was trying to figure out a unique way to begin this column, but I don’t think anything I could say would match the uniqueness of Jennifer Coolidge.
Regardless of the characters she portrays, she brings almost a patented individuality to her roles, melding sexy, disheveled, brassy, quirky, and outrageous.
She is at once indescribable and identifiable. She’s an oxymoron within a contradiction, enveloped by authenticity.Outwardly vulnerable and unwittingly invincible.
Unwittingly humorous and outwardly serious.It almost sounds trite, simplistic, and redundant to say that I first became aware of her, like millions of others, as Stiffler’s mom in the trifecta of American Pie box office smashes.
