This legend is the reason “MILF” and the “bend and snap” are part of our vernacular… So why has it taken so long for her to be recognised as one of Hollywood’s greatest talents?
She was hardworking, caring, funny and sassy, but , needed to learn how to reclaim her voice. Coolidge turned Paulette into the heart of the film, showing us the vulnerability beneath the character’s glossy exterior and perfectly capturing her precarity as a “middle-aged high school dropout” who’d lost her sense of self after leaving an abusive partner.
She made such an impression that I’m pretty sure my decision to get a bulldog a few years later was largely inspired by Paulette’s love story with her bulldog, Rufus. . She plays trophy wife Sherri Ann Cabot in the mockumentary-style film made with frequent collaborator, Christopher Guest, who said of the star: “No one else acts the way she acts. I don’t mean acting as an actor. I mean behaves the way she behaves.
Much of the film was improvised and Coolidge’s performance is stellar, from her physical comedy and impeccable timing to her uncanny ability to express a devastating range of emotions without uttering a word. Although you’d be hard-pressed to find a better delivery of memorable lines, like: “We could not talk or talk forever… and still find things to not talk about” and “I’m going to be right here until I get another message… from myself.
Jennifer Coolidge hasn’t been propelled into the fame stratosphere overnight: she spent years auditioning and failing to land roles, and even after big-screen breakthroughs likeshe was asked to “audition” for the role of Paulette in the musical version of the movie.) Plus, she spent years being typecast as a “ditzy blonde”... although I’d argue that while her blondes did seem to have fun , they also had a lot more to them than met the eye.
Coolidge has always been a master at subverting expectations: her trophy wives are full of emotional depth, wit and intelligence. She’s infused each of her roles with something unexpected or out of left-field, whether it’s a layer of insecurity or a hint of the tragic. Also: she’s fearless in how she embodies her characters, taking them to extremes that can be clumsy or sexy, unhinged or totally held-together.
