WHITE LOTUS Creator Mike White Says Season 3 Stars "Rival" Jennifer
Coolidge's "Iconic" Performance [HBO]  (Jan. 30)

Getting rid of Coolidge was the best thing for that show.

I have no idea why she's so lauded and celebrated. She's incredibly
off-putting, her acting style basically boils down to her squinting like she's
trying to read something far away, and whining a lot. She's not attractive and
has a voice only slightly less grating than Fran Drescher, yet Hollywood
treats her like she's the next Meryl Streep or something.

As far as I'm concerned, she peaked in AMERICAN PIE as Stifler's Mom.

She's got it going on!

Her screen character is intentionally off-putting. Success! I don't find
her to be entertaining either.
