Jennifer Coolidge opens up about overcoming cocaine addiction in her 20s, channeling the death of her mother to play the grieving Tanya McQuoid in “The White Lotus” and what she wants from Season 2.

Well, those were the years that I was living in New York City and I was telling people I was an actress, but I was really a waitress.

Thank God for cocaine, it all came to a head at 27. And I sort of went to rehab, and then I actually was able to refocus my life. And in some ways my life became so simple.What sort of reflection happened in your time in rehab? Like, did you set some goals for yourself while doing work on yourself in rehab?In rehab they told me I couldn’t go out to clubs and I couldn’t go out to bars anymore and all that stuff. And so, there was like six or eight hours I added to my life every day.

I had so many bad work experiences working in restaurants and stuff that I got to write all of my horrible experiences in a comedic way and perform them onstage. And all these horrible bosses that I had that abused me, I was able to play them and it was just incredibly therapeutic and that was so healthy. I mean, if someone was, like, really rotten to me — like, you know, sometimes I babysat for people that weren’t nice to me or whatever.

But I do have to say, you know, after doing “White Lotus,” I feel like … I got a really cool part and it didn’t seem impossible to do that. And it was a pretty meaty part ... But yeah, I don’t have any regrets. My only regret was just how long I entertained not doing that job.
