The actress was 38 when she played the famous “Stifler’s mom,” who caught the eye of teenager Paul Finch. Fortunately, becoming a muse on screen did wonders for her love life.
“There were so many benefits to doing that film. I mean, there would have been about 200 people I never would have slept with,” she said in an interview with Variety in 2022.
Her role was as legendary as the film franchise itself, and she portrayed the character four times in American Pie, American Pie 2, American Wedding, and American Reunion.
However, she lamented that playing Jeanine Stifler in American Pie and Paulette Bonafonté Parcelle in Legally Blonde prevented Hollywood from giving her more serious roles.
“The saddest thing in life is you only make decisions about yourself. If I’m not getting great roles, I come to the conclusion that people think I’m incapable of it.”
“Actually, you need someone like Mike White [director of The White Lotus] to come along and say, ‘I think you can do this,'” added the actress, whose role as Tanya McQuoid in the HBO series earned her her first Emmy nomination.
