POLL: Is Jennifer Coolidge the Cilantro of Acting?
I saw someone on Reddit compare Jennifer Coolidge to cilantro, saying she’s a strong spice that works well in some places but has started to crop up where she doesn’t reasonably belong simply because her popularity is beginning to overshadow her substance, not unlike cilantro a few decades ago.
She did White Lotus, then The Watcher, and now she’s set to join Only Murders in the Building - no doubt playing another dingbat millionaire with a lovable edge.

She's basically always the same character, but it works for her in the roles she plays. I like her. To me, she was the best thing in Legally Blonde, after peak Luke Wilson.

I don’t see her that much. It’s not like she’s everywhere.

She peaked in "White Lotus". All her tics and idiosyncrasies came to an apex.

She stole some of Alice Ghostley’s schtick.

Cilantro is not a spice. It’s an herb.

She hasn’t been announced as joining Only Murders. Molly Shannon has been.

Talentless actress with zero range. Plays the same part very time.

She has zero range, plays everything exactiy the same way. But she was highly effective in The White Lotus.

Agree. I listen to Pandora and they repeat the same Discover card advertising every few songs. Never heard of her before that.

I think they can stop giving her awards now. Ditto The White Lotus.

I think she's fucking awful, and I'm so tired of her bullshit that when I see she's in something, I skip it.

I enjoy her, especially in the Christopher Guest movies.
It just occurred to me that Guest's wife, the humble actor Jamie Lee Curtis, does not appear in his films. They don't really seem to like one another.
Sorry, sidetracked. And easily amused by fictional charming dingbats.
