Jennifer Coolidge's life was forever changed after she starred in the iconic 2011 comedy, Legally Blonde.
But the actress, 59, who played Paulette Bonafonté in the film, reveals she almost didn't do the iconic 'bend and snap' dance that is so often quoted by fans - because she simply couldn't get it right.
'I didn't really get it… I mean, look at the way Reese [Witherspoon] was doing the dance. Yeah, she would probably get the guy. I certainly wouldn't, not with my interpretation,' she told this week's Stellar Magazine.

'[Choreographer] Toni Basil was disgusted with my inability to execute it. I think she was just blown away at how bad I was.'
Luckily for fans of the comedy, Jennifer persevered and eventually got it on film.
'[Producer] Marc Platt and the girls who wrote the film... they somehow knew. They had a vision. And I'm very impressed' she added.
