Renowned Hollywood actor Jennifer Coolidge has credited the hit dark comedy series 'The White Lotus' with transforming both her professional and personal life. Coolidge, known for roles in iconic films like 'American Pie' and 'Legally Blonde', has seen a revival in her career and dating life through her portrayal of Tanya McQuoid.

The 63-year-old actor recently shared with The Sunday Times how playing a character often seen as a 'complete weirdo' has surprisingly attracted admirers. Coolidge's experiences in 'The White Lotus' contrast sharply with her previous roles, where she was often typecast as a highly strung rich woman.

The series, created by Mike White, debuted in 2021 and brought Coolidge significant recognition, including Emmy and Golden Globe awards for her performance in the first two seasons. The show's narrative, focusing on wealthy vacationers at a luxurious resort, continues to engage audiences, with a third season launched in February 2022.
