Reflecting on her sudden rise to fame, Coolidge admitted to receiving an overwhelming amount of attention and romantic opportunities following her portrayal of Stifler’s Mom.
Speaking in a recent interview with Variety, Coolidge reminisced, “I got a lot of play at being a MlLF and I got a lot of s**ual action from American Pie.” She humorously added, “There were so many benefits to doing that movie. I mean, there would be like 200 people that I would never have slept with.”
Coolidge’s revelation sheds light on the profound impact her role had on her personal life, catapulting her into a realm of newfound fame and romantic encounters.

Coolidge’s openness about her experiences serves as a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of art, celebrity, and personal life.
