Jennifer Coolidge<\/a> is opening up about her past mistakes.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“Now that I\u2019m 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 \u201990s when I had \u2018Legally Blonde,\u2019 \u2018Best in Show\u2019 and \u2018American Pie.\u2019<\/a> And then a few years later, there was \u2018Cinderella Story\u2019 and stuff like that. But there was a moment\u2026 looking back there was this wave that I really could’ve ridden, but I don’t know, I got really distracted.”<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I didn’t realize I was behind the wheel and I could have manipulated it better to have a better outcome,” she shared.<\/p>\n

JENNIFER COOLIDGE SAYS CAREER WAS ‘FLATLINING’ AND OWES HER SUCCESS TO ARIANA GRANDE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

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. She now says, “That was a fatal flaw of mine, because it took so long to get anything going later,” and when she looks at her younger self, she finds herself asking, “What was I thinking?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My theater friends that started doing shows early on maybe had a better idea of how the process worked and how you could go from show to show, and your parts could improve,” she explained. “I have regrets about not doing that.”<\/p>\n

Coolidge has previously spoken out about how she felt her career was getting stagnant and there were a lack of roles coming in for her, and she credits Ariana Grande for jump-starting her career by casting her in the music video for the 2018 hit “Thank U, Next.”<\/p>\n

She told Grande during Entertainment Weekly\u2019s Entertainer of the Year issue, “I was kind of flatlining<\/a>, and you got things going for me.” She then thanked Grande for the role she played in helping her in her career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Yes, I got to do \u2018White Lotus,\u2019 but I think it really started with you asking me to be in the ‘Thank U, Next’ video,” she told Grande. “I mean, from there I got \u2018Promising Young Woman,\u2019 and this whole thing. You were sort of the instigator. I really believe that. I think if you hadn’t put me in ‘Thank U, Next,’ and done that imitation, I don’t think I would be here where I am.”<\/p>\n

Most recently, the actress captured everyone’s hearts when she played Tanya McQuoid-Hunt in the first two seasons of “The White Lotus.” The character was killed off at the end of the second season after she found herself isolated on a boat with a bunch of men who were trying to kill her.<\/p>\n

Coolidge won a Golden Globe<\/a>, a SAG Award and an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Tanya in the first and second season. She was the only cast member from the first season to return to the show full time for its second season.<\/p>\n

Many fans were upset to learn that the death, which was teased in the first episode of the second season, turned out to be Tanya; however, Coolidge seems to have found peace in the storyline.<\/p>\n

“[Creator] Mike [White] was looking for a big Italian opera ending, and it was big and dramatic, so he wanted me to die for many reasons,” Coolidge said. “But I also think Tanya\u2019s a lot. Maybe people would get sick of her on another season. Maybe people would be like, \u2018Oh, my God. Get rid of Tanya!\u2019”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
