Jennifer Coolidge Urges Graduates to Believe 'Absurd Possibilities' in Epic Commencement Speech: 'Just Friggin' Go for It'

Jennifer Coolidge delivered a passionate speech about self-confidence and perseverance to the 2025 Emerson College graduation class on Sunday, May 11.

Her change in mindset grew even stronger after she saw a magazine that belonged to her mother featuring Grace Kelly and her royal wedding, which made Coolidge dream of becoming the queen of Monaco. Coolidge noted that being "overly sensitive" made her constantly feel like she was in a "state of just recovering" from negative feedback — whether it was being rejected for a role or hearing a hurtful comment. Jennifer Coolidge attends the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 10, 2024.
