Though Jennifer Coolidge has certainly seemed to garner a lot of cultural clout over the last couple of years, with her roles in The White Lotus and Promising Young Woman, she’s long been held up as an icon in the queer community. (Fun fact: She’s the actor that’s reportedly most emulated in audition tapes for RuPaul’s Drag Race.)
That should only continue considering Coolidge’s latest role, as campy Aunt Sandy in Netflix’s new queer holiday romance, Single All The Way. Considering there’s a line about how gay people are always obsessed with Coolidge thrown right in the trailer, we thought we’d ask the actress about the origin of her queer fandom when we sat down with her and co-star Kathy Najimy for a recent video interview.
