Just heard that Coolidge has been cast as Vera in the D.C. production of MAME starring Christine Baranski. Now that's inspired casting if it is true!

She's perfect for the part, and should be great with Baranski. Now just cast Rachel Dratch at Gooch and Gavin Creel as Patrick!

I love Jennfer's film work. Does she have a background in theatre?

I simply adore Jennifer Coolidge and I'd love to see her as Vera Charles. How delicious!! She completely stole the show when I saw "The Women."

She was hilarious in "The Women". She started with the Groundlings right?

That is divine casting. When does this go up? I may have to fly out for these two!

I agree. She was so funny in THE WOMEN. I think she'll be a brassy, sassy Vera C.
