Jennifer Coolidge (b. August 28 1963, Boston, Massachusetts) is an American actress.
Coolidge attended Norwell High School. She is best known for playing "Stifler's mom", the consummate "MILF", in the American Pie films, though she is also known for supporting parts in other films, including Hilary Duff's stepmother in A Cinderella Story, Paulette, the manicurist in Legally Blonde, and the voice of Aunt Fanny in the animated feature Robots.
She has played comic parts in the mockumentaries Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration directed by Christopher Guest. She also appeared in the 2006 film Date Movie as a spoof of Barbra Streisand's Meet the Fockers character.
Coolidge had a regular role in the NBC sitcom Joey as Joey's agent. She had originally starred in an episode of Friends in its final season as Amanda, a tactless and uninhibited wannabe whom Phoebe and Monica try to shake off. Previous to her Friends appearance she was a regular on She TV, a very short-lived sketch comedy that also featured Nick Bakay, Elon Gold, Simbi Khali, and Linda Kash. She also has appeared on According to Jim, playing Jim's sister and in an episode of Sex and the City.
Coolidge also appeared in the kiddie comedy Slappy and the Stinkers and as Adam Sandler's wife's friend, Janine, in the 2006 comedy film Click.
Coolidge made one of her first appearances in the Seinfeld episode The Masseuse.
