The 2010s could have been better for the actress. She was a regular on Two Broke Girls and appeared in the rather mediocre comedy Like a Boss with Salma Hayek. But after 2020, Coolidge’s IMDb page has been blowing up. In September 2021, she won an Emmy Award for her role as the dramatic heiress Tanya McQuoid in the comedy series White Lotus.
White Lotus is a social satire that makes fun of the most pressing issues of today — from gender equality to racial issues, and Jennifer Coolidge, who fits perfectly in the genre of satire, is a real gem of this series. Director Mike White gave Jennifer the complicated role of Tanya, which was a real gift and a breath of fresh air for the actress. A challenge was accepted and overcome. Looking at season 2 of White Lotus, it’s clear that things will only get better from now on for Jennifer Coolidge, as Tanya and her husband were the only two characters to appear in both seasons.
In 2023, Coolidge was called up on stage to get her second Golden Globe for The White Lotus. And just like the year prior, the actress’s speech was tearful and sincere. One can only imagine what the future holds for Jennifer, but we’ll be here to witness her well-deserved revival.
