Jennifer Coolidge certainly having a moment. Playing wealthy, self-absorbed Tanya Mcquoid-hunt in two seasons of black comedy drama ‘The White Lotus’ has gained her Golden Globe, Emmy and Critics Choice awards, and suddenly the 61-year-old has become the hottest name in Hollywood.

 

 

 

The recognition is long overdue for Coolidge, who followed up her TV debut in a 1993 episode of Seinfeld with the iconic roles of ‘Stifler’s mom’ in American Pie (1999) and ‘bend-and-snap’ manicurist Paulette in Legally Blonde (2001).

This week, Coolidge brings her Midas touch to Netflix’s spooky family-friendly film, We Have a Ghost.

She plays Judy Romano, a super-coiffed celebrity psychic known as the West Bay Medium, who is called on to help a family when they discover a not-so-scary ghost, Ernest (Stranger Things’ David Harbour), in their run-down new home.

Teenager Kevin (Jahi Winston) is the first to meet Ernest, who can’t speak and has no idea why he’s stuck in the so-called ‘House of Death’.

But when Kevin films their interaction and his dad Frank (Anthony Mackie) uploads the video to social media, it makes overnight stars out of his family.

Soon, their fame attracts unwanted attention from a CIA agent (Tig Notaro), who’s determined to catch Ernest.

Can Kevin and his school friend Joy (Isabella Russo) find out more about the friendly ghost’s life and death before it’s too late?
