'White Lotus' star Jennifer Coolidge reveals ‘fatal flaw’ from her past
foxnews.comJennifer Coolidge is opening up about her past mistakes. During a conversation with Jeremy Allen White, as part of Variety's Actors on Actors series, Coolidge discussed how she regrets not capitalizing on a moment she had early in her career. "Now that I’m old enough to really look back at my life and certainly my mistakes, I see a lot of those.
But I never had any strategy. I just went job to job. I have to say I made the terrible mistake of not riding the wave that I had early on," she explained. "It was sort of in the ’90s when I had ‘Legally Blonde,’ ‘Best in Show’ and ‘American Pie.’ And then a few years later, there was ‘Cinderella Story’ and stuff like that.
But there was a moment… looking back there was this wave that I really could've ridden, but I don't know, I got really distracted." The "White Lotus" actress further explained she didn't have anyone in her life giving her advice on how to navigate her career and show her how to take charge. "I didn't realize I was behind the wheel and I could have manipulated it better to have a better outcome," she shared.
Looking back, Coolidge remembers thinking, "I had my whole life" to pursue an acting career, admitting she "wasn't paying attention" to the roles she could have been taking.
