Jennifer Coolidge almost missed out on playing Tanya McQuoid. During The Hollywood Reporter‘s drama actress roundtable, the 61-year-old actress reveals how her now-iconic role on “The White Lotus” nearly slipped through her grasp.
“Mike and I were going to do another show, which had been turned down by a lot of people, and he mentioned he was going to write [his next] show about rich people on vacation, but I never heard anything more about it,” Coolidge tells Claire Danes, Emma D’Arcy, Dominique Fishback, Jennifer Garner and Melanie Lynskey of Mike White, the show’s creator.
Then came the Covid-19 pandemic, Coolidge explains.
“We were like six months into Covid, and I’d been locked up in my house in New Orleans just pigging out on these vegan pizzas. A good friend and I were doing two at breakfast, two at lunch and two at dinner,” she says. “We were in Covid,...

The teen movies of the 1980s helped to define that decade and made stars of many of the young actors of the day but when John Hughes ran out of ideas and Molly Ringwald’s phone stopped ringing it spelt the end of an era for the genre. During the nineties, the teen movie lay dormant with occasional successes hidden in the guise of other genres such as horror (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer) and literary adaptations (Romeo And Juliet, Clueless loosely based on Jane Austin’s Emma). However in 1999 all that changed, thanks largely to American Pie, which makes its HD debut on Blu-ray along with its two sequels in a trilogy box-set this week.
Taking influence from the more raucous teen comedies of the early eighties such as Porky’s and Revenge Of The Nerds but infusing the character development and depth of John Hughes...
