Jennifer Coolidge is showing us a new side of her talent, and it's award-worthy.
Everyone knows Jennifer Coolidge, and almost everyone loves her — or, at least, recognizes the mark her unique persona has left. Even so, her popularity and general icon status didn’t make her big Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series win last night any less surprising for most people. At first glance, Coolidge’s award-winning performance in the HBO anthology series The White Lotus wasn’t very different from her past roles.

This is an especially valid question since the show’s creator, Mike White, is a friend of Coolidge, who wrote the role specifically for her. In an interview with Deadline, Coolidge was asked which of the characters that she’s played was most like her.
