Jennifer Coolidge, renowned for her roles in “Legally Blonde” and “American Pie,” has recently opened up about how her portrayal of Tanya McQuoid in HBO’s “The White Lotus” has positively influenced her personal life, particularly her dating experiences. At 63, Coolidge notes that this role has garnered her more attention from admirers than previous characters.

In an interview with The Times, Coolidge shared that playing Tanya, a quirky and complex character who faces significant challenges, has made her more appealing to men. She observed that portraying someone who endures hardship seems to elicit empathy and interest, enhancing her attractiveness.

Reflecting on her career, Coolidge recalled that her role as Stifler’s mom in the 1999 comedy “American Pie” also had a notable impact on her personal life, leading to increased attention from men. However, she emphasizes that the response following “The White Lotus” has been even more significant.

Despite her character’s dramatic exit in the show’s second season, Coolidge’s performance earned her critical acclaim, including an Emmy award. She expressed gratitude towards “The White Lotus” creator, Mike White, for revitalizing her career and providing opportunities that have resonated both professionally and personally.

On March 23, 2025, Jennifer Lopez and her 17-year-old child, Emme, attended the opening night of the Broadway revival of “Othello” at New York City’s Barrymore Theatre. The production stars Denzel Washington as Othello and Jake Gyllenhaal as Iago. The event attracted numerous celebrities, including former President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.

Jennifer Lopez, aged 55, showcased a chic two-piece ensemble featuring a midriff-baring, long-sleeve top adorned with rhinestones, beads, and gold sequins, paired with a matching floor-length skirt. She complimented her outfit with a black fur coat and styled her hair in a sleek bun. Emme opted for a modern look, wearing a black-and-white pinstriped suit over a gray shirt, accessorized with a dark, multi-colored tie, chunky black loafers, and black-rimmed eyeglasses.

Emme, who uses gender-neutral pronouns, is one of Lopez’s twins from her marriage to singer Marc Anthony. Known for their artistic talents, Emme authored the children’s book “Lord Help Me: Inspiring Prayers for Every Day” and performed alongside Lopez during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2020.

The “Othello” revival has garnered significant attention, marking the first Broadway production of the play in over four decades. Directed by Kenny Leon, the show has set box office records, grossing $2.8 million in a single week. The limited engagement is scheduled to run until June 8.
