The role of “Stifler’s mom” in the 1999 film American Pie was her big break. The picture was a huge financial and critical success, grossing over $235,000,000 worldwide, and boosting Coolidge’s profile.

She took a supporting role in 2003’s “Testosterone,” and the haughty stepmother in 2007’s “A Cinderella Story,” which starred Hillary Duff.
