"She texted me during (season 3), she was like, 'You better kill him!'" Natasha shared Jennifer's response when she told her this news.
She went on to add, "Sorry. Sorry, Jen, to disappoint. I didn't kill him. But, yeah no, she's been such a champion, which is nice."
Elsewhere in the chat, she recounted working with Jennifer for the first time and shared that she was already a huge fan of her.
Speaking of her work experience with Jennifer Coolidge in the show’s first season, she added, "Playing opposite Coolidge, I mean, that's crazy.”
“I remember when they told me who I'd be playing against and I was like, 'Stifler's mom?! This is nuts!'" she recounted referring to Jennifer Coolidge's iconic role in the show American Pie after which she moved to a new topic.
