One of Jennifer Coolidge’s former costars, Kat Dennings, is hoping to catch up with the busy actress soon. As the first season of ABC’s Shifting Gears approached its finale on March 19, Dennings, known for her role in ‘2 Broke Girls’, spoke to PEOPLE about her admiration for Coolidge. Currently, Coolidge is riding high on her career success, particularly after her Emmy-winning performances on the hit series ‘The White Lotus’.
Dennings, 38, candidly shared that despite her attempts to reconnect with Coolidge, 63, it seems the actress may be too occupied to chat at the moment. Light-heartedly, Dennings quipped, “Oh my God, I’ve tried to get back in touch with her, but I think she’s too busy to talk to me right now.” She added, “I’m just kidding. But I have reached out just to tell her how amazing she is and I didn’t really ask any questions so maybe that’s why she didn’t answer?”
Although a recent conversation between the two has been elusive, Dennings expressed her joy at witnessing Coolidge’s career resurgence. She described Coolidge as an iconic figure in the industry and shared her excitement about the recognition Coolidge is receiving. The admiration between the two actors is evident, stemming from their time working together on the CBS sitcom ‘2 Broke Girls’ from 2011 to 2017, where Coolidge portrayed Sophie, the eccentric upstairs neighbor of Max, played by Dennings, and Caroline, played by Beth Behrs.
Having seen Coolidge flourish beyond their shared TV show, Dennings lauded her former colleague’s accomplishments. Coolidge’s success extends beyond television, with her impressive accolades on ‘The White Lotus’, in addition to securing prominent roles in commercial projects and upcoming films like ‘Shotgun Wedding’, ‘Riff Raff’, and the highly-anticipated ‘A Minecraft Movie’.
Seann William Scott, who shares the screen with Dennings in ‘Shifting Gears’ and has previously collaborated with Coolidge in the ‘American Pie’ franchise, joined in praising Coolidge. Scott, 48, echoed Dennings’ sentiments, remarking on Coolidge’s legendary status in the entertainment industry. He added, “Yeah, I agree, she deserves to be in everything and to be crushing things.”
