Groundbreaking It Girl Jennifer Coolidge
She is a phenomenon. She has to be the oldest It Girl ever, unless Betty White, Dolly Parton or Jane Fonda count—but they're all more grande dames who already had moments decades ago.
There's no denying that Coolidge is the biggest starlet right now, taking up the pop-culture space once held by Alicia Silverstone, Winona Ryder, Jennifer Lawrence and other past It Girls...and Coolidge is SIXTY-ONE years old!
Are there any young actresses who currently hold a similar status? Maybe the girl whose parents threw her a MAGA party with MAGA hats? She's the only one who comes to mind...

Saw her on an old Seinfeld a few weeks ago. She was just another bland blonde bore. Whatever schtick she invented for herself works and it's nice to see her making the most of her success.

She’s having a late life renaissance, like Meryl Streep in the 2000’s. It’s rare so good for her.

I still get a kick out of her. She's unproblematic and striking while the iron is hot.
She intrigues me because she has sad eyes oftentimes. She seems sweet in interviews and has stayed gainfully employed for years so she must be an easy hire. But, her eyes are her biggest tell.
I'm curious as to if she has a partner of any sort.

I think her 'shtick' was created when she became part of the Christopher Guest crew. She played every part the same way. Now it's just her style.

Yep, plenty of comic actors have characteristic styles. Christopher Lloyd, Carol Kane, Goldie Hawn, Lisa Kudrow, Jane Lynch, Mae West, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski.
It's not strange that she has developed her own style and plays different characters similarly. She's usually there to make us laugh.

The rumors are that the next season of The White Lotus will be a prequel and again feature her character Tonya McQuoid, so Mike White probably asked her to lose weight for the role. And I actually bet she was happy to have a good reason to lose the weight.
She unintentionally gained a lot of weight during Covid and was afraid he would not want her in White Lotus 1, but he said it made sense that the character would have become overweight at that point in her life. But I would guess he wants her slimmer for a prequel season so she'll look younger.

I agree with you, Op, she is a legitimate It girl and is finally having her well deserved moment. I can't think of any other it girls even close to her age.
[quote]I'm curious as to if she has a partner of any sort.
I've read she's very private and won't discuss if or who she's dating, but she was in a relationship with Chris Kattan like 20+ years ago. That just seems like SUCH an odd pairing! I imagine her as this very tall, va-va-voom blond bombshell and he's this squirrelly little guy that did weird monkey impersonations. Strange.

I will not stand for slanderous talk against this lovely, comedic gem of an actress. We should all hope to be so lucky so as to enjoy a career renaissance ourselves! Coolidge should find a juicy, perhaps darker role fit for a Supporting Actress Oscar nom (a la Allison Janney) while she's at it. If Jamie Lee Curtis could muster up one, so can Coolidge.

One person who isn’t amused by her schtick is F. Murray Abraham. He was one move from executing an eye roll with his forced smile and uncomfortable look when they panned to him at the Golden Globes. He wanted her to shut-up and sit down.

R35, is that coke on her nose? Perhaps just a skin tag.
To answer OP's question, Jenna Ortega had the potential to be the current It Girl when 'Wednesday' came out. They've even rejiggered the 'Scream 6' trailers to feature her more prominently. But clearly 'Scream 6' was filmed before she had the buccal fat removal, so she looks much different in the trailers than she currently does in real life. Ortega also gives off the vibe in interviews that this is all just a job for her. (Very Zoomer of her, and I applaud her.)
It Girls have to make it clear they *want* the title. That's also why Gretchen Mol didn't make it as an It Girl...she couldn't have cared less, so Heather Graham swooped in and claimed it without a battle.
Coolidge is in on the joke and just picked up her Hasty Pudding Award. Hopefully she and her agent(s) can harness the lightning and get her something more substantial than reprising her role in 'Legally Blonde 3: I'm An American Citizen'.

I think her storyline in White Lotus Season 2 is true to life. She's a barbie doll for rich gay men in Hollywood to play with. I bet even the party scene with the sexy hitman is based on real life. Mike White probably has her fuck hot young straight guys for his enjoyment.

I feel as if this is more your fantasy than Mike White's.
Perhaps your version of Jennifer Coolidge is, I don't know--like Fiona Apple or whatever.
But here's the thing to remember: your are entitled to your disgusting perverted fantasies so just own them, honey.
