In 1999, Coolidge got her big break playing Jeanine Stifler, or "Stifler's mom" in "American Pie". The film was a box-office hit and took in a gross worldwide revenue of $235,483,004. In 2001, she reprised her role in "American Pie 2". Later in that same year, she had a supporting role in "Legally Blonde" as Paulette Bonafonté Parcelle the manicurist. "Legally Blonde" was a box-office hit, grossing US$96 million domestically.
