Reese Witherspoon: There Is No ‘Legally Blonde 3’ Without Jennifer Coolidge

Reese Witherspoon knows there is no Elle Woods without the perfect manicurist-turned-bestie Paulette Bonafonté.
The “Legally Blonde” icon gushed over two-time co-star Jennifer Coolidge, who played Paulette in both franchise installments thus far.
“There is no ‘Legally Blonde 3’ without Jennifer Coolidge,” Witherspoon told Entertainment Tonight, despite Coolidge previously revealing in October 2022 she had yet to be contacted to reprise her role.
Witherspoon continued of the “White Lotus” Emmy winner, “I’m beyond myself about Jennifer Coolidge. She deserves every one of those flowers she is receiving right now. And she’s just one of those people who is so naturally gifted and funny and that you can just tell people love her, because she gets up there and everybody’s like, ‘I love her,’ but she’s just done a lot of good work in our business for so long, that it’s really nice to see her getting this incredible moment.
