Devoted fans of the multi-award-winning television hit The White Lotus should live forever in gratitude to Jennifer Coolidge. Without her, there may have been no show.

The actor, who is having a very big moment right now, was the inspiration for the show's writer, Mike White, a long-time friend, who created the series starring Coolidge as the lost multimillionaire Tanya McQuoid.

"Jennifer's the reason I did [The] White Lotus in the first place," he told The New York Times. "I just wanted to write something for her and I just adore her."
