You may know her from her role in Legally Blond for taking the dog or wanting a “hot dog real bad.” She is truly an icon, through and through, and she represents modern feminism. She has been in works like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Road Trip, Igor, Legally Blond 1, 2, and 3, The Emoji Movie, Seinfeld, Robots, A Cinderella Story, The White Lotus, and much more. She is an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress. You may not know this about her, but she used to pretend to be Ernest Hemingway’s daughter to get into clubs. She got her break on Seinfeld as an actor. She started her career off doing improv and stand-up comedy. When she was 21, she lived at a nursing home to save money. There is a Krewe in NOLA that is called the Krewe of Coolidge. This is where some of her fans dress up as her and walk down the streets of NOLA. She has houses in New Orleans, New York, Boston, and Hollywood. She was an honorary rider for Muses the Krewe in New Orleans. Her house in NOLA is right next to Tulane in the Lower Garden District, and my goal in college is to go and find her. That house specifically is rumored to be haunted. She once went out with two guys at the same time by telling them she had an identical twin. Her favorite flowers are peonies. Her dog Chuy was rescued from a meat factory in Korea. She has, on average, 12 shots of espresso a day. She can play the clarinet. She is related to President Calvin Coolidge–they are distant cousins. Overall, she is an amazing person.

Hey everyone! My name is Caroline Ortemond. I am the Chief and Editor of Journalism this year. I have been in Journalism for three years, and I absolutely love it! This is going to be my last year in Journalism, so I am going to try my hardest to make it the best year ever. I play basketball and track, and I am the president of the Speech and Debate Team. My favorite thing about Ascension is the welcoming environment that makes everyone feel like they're a part of one big happy family.
