Jennifer Coolidge looks back to her best year, opens up about Hollywood's hot streak

Jennifer Coolidge embraces her best year ever.

The White Lotus star gave an interview to People magazine about her hectic few months, which included winning a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award, a Hasty Pudding Theatricals Woman of the Year award, an e.l.f. Cosmetics Super Bowl commercial, and other unforgettable memes.

It turns out that Coolidge, 61, is still modest about her "It Girl" status despite all the attention she receives from Hollywood and other places.

"I think people liked that I was the underdog," she told the outlet exclusively in this week's issue. "I played a lot of strange women, and people were amused by the comedies I've done. Then Mike White put me in The White Lotus and it was a drama and comedy at the same time — I never really had that."

Also, it appeared that everyone, both on and off the red carpet, wanted to take a selfie with her.

"Something happened this awards season. I don't know if they just played clips of me so many times on the Internet or Instagram, but it doesn't matter what disguise I have on, I can be wearing a frog costume with a helmet and people know it's me," she said.

"I was recently walking in the North End in Boston, and I couldn't make it down the street. I think it's so interesting. I guess it's the Internet. I don't know — or maybe I have a weird walk."
