The White Lotus star and recent Golden Globe Award winner Jennifer Coolidge continues her winning streak: Harvard-based Hasty Pudding Theatricals has named her the recipient of its 2023 Woman of the Year Award.
The Pudding cited “her iconic performances in The White Lotus, The Watcher, Legally Blonde, and American Pie among countless others,” and called her “a truly unique and impactful presence in the world of entertainment.”
“We are so excited to welcome Jennifer Coolidge back to her hometown and to Harvard, the iconic setting of Legally Blonde,” said Man & Woman of the Year Coordinator Maya Dubin about the Boston-born actor. “Her glittering personality and comedic presence are so Pudding. We know she’ll fit right into the Pudding’s musical spectacular, though she’ll still have to earn her Pudding Pot on stage.”
