Have you ever wondered how a single role can define an entire career? For Jennifer Coolidge, that role was undoubtedly Stifler's Mom in the iconic 1999 film, American Pie. It launched her into the stratosphere, forever etching her name in the annals of comedy, and what came after was pure, unadulterated Coolidge brilliance.
Born on August 28, 1961, in Boston, Massachusetts, Jennifer Coolidge's journey to Hollywood stardom was far from conventional. The daughter of Gretchen (Knauff) and Paul Constant Coolidge, a plastics manufacturer, young Jennifer initially harbored dreams of becoming a singer. However, fate, and perhaps a touch of comedic genius, had other plans for her. While she may not have become a pop star, she found her voice, a uniquely hilarious one, that would captivate audiences worldwide.
