Shannon Elizabeth’s OnlyFans gamble already seems to be paying off nicely, very nicely indeed.
Following in the footsteps of singer Lily Allen, Harry Potter alumnus Jessie Cave, and The Sopranos’ Drea de Matteo, the American Pie star launched an account on the subscription-based platform earlier this month, translating her nostalgic celebrity status into guaranteed dollars.
The description for Elizabeth’s account reads: “Here you’ll find the side of me that doesn’t make it into movies — more playful, spontaneous, and completely unscripted. If you’ve ever been curious what I’m really like… You’re about to find out,” but she won’t be uploading any nude material.
The announcement came around the same time she filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Borchert, who she met in 2015 and married in 2021.

An insider for PEOPLE claims that the former ‘sex symbol’ has amassed ‘more than seven figures’ in her first week alone.
Elizabeth is ‘really making a name for herself; she is super happy she now gets to take control and be engaged with her fans’, they added.
Speaking to the same publication about the decision to dip her toes into the OnlyFans universe, the 52-year-old called seemed keen to claw back autonomy of her public image.
“I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career,” she shared.
“This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans. I’m choosing OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create on my own terms, and just be free. I really do think this is the future.”
Elizabeth, who established herself as one of the world’s top celebrity poker talents, is known around the world for her portrayal of foreign exchange student Nadia across three American Pie films.

In the 1999 original, her character stops by the house of classmate Jim (played by Jason Biggs) after school, having been promised help with her studies.
He secretly sets up a webcam (and livestream, unbeknownst to him) in his bedroom before bolting over to his friend’s house, eager to see what she gets up to while he’s out of the room.
Nadia starts pleasuring herself, so Jim pegs it back home in the hope of losing his virginity with the best-looking girl in the school. Famously, it doesn’t go his way.
Opening up about the infamous scene, Biggs admitted ‘it wouldn’t get made now and it couldn’t get made now’.

He told BuzzFeed News in 2020: “It would be unacceptable what that represents, but at the time I remember reading the script and reading that part and being shocked that there was cameras on computers. That’s what I took away from it originally!”
Even though her character appears nude in American Pie, Elizabeth previously informed Entertainment Tonight that she’s very different to that particular alter-ego in real life.
“[I’m] just not the girl who likes to be naked, ever,” she remarked.
“Even at home I’m always covered up. Like I have friends that sleep in the nude and they don’t mind walking around that way. That was never me, but because that was kind of my coming out, everyone assumed I was that girl.”

Since his days playing the awkward Jim Levenstein, Jason Biggs has gone on to star in the likes of Loser (2000), Boys and Girls (2000), and Saving Silverman (2001).
He also made his mark in TV with his role as Larry Bloom in the Netflix hit Orange Is the New Black (2013).
The 47-year-old has since stepped behind the camera with his directorial debut, a 2025 film called Untitled Home Invasion Romance.
Biggs has been candid about his past struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, revealing the ‘wake-up call’ that led to his sobriety. He has been sober since 2017.

Best known for his role as Steve Stifler in the American Pie films, Seann William Scott seemingly disappeared from Hollywood in recent years.
Despite being paid just $8,000 (£6,000) for the first movie, the 49-year-old still makes a pretty penny by offering his talents to the industry, as court documents revealing his earnings showed when they were made public.
This came amid his 2024 divorce from his wife of four years, Olivia Korenberg. The pair share a daughter together.
As well as revealing why he decided to step away from the spotlight, Scott recently appeared in the ABC comedy series Shifting Gears.

Aside from her role in the American Pie movies, the Michelle Flaherty actress is perhaps best known for playing Willow Rosenberg on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) and Lily Aldrin on How I Met Your Mother (2005-2014).
Over the years, she’s continued to act, as well as working as a voice artist and TV host.
Hannigan, now 52, shares two children with her husband of over 20 years, Alexis Denisof, and regularly posts DIY and upcycling videos on her social media.

It wasn’t just Jennifer Coolidge’s sex life that changed after starring as Stifler’s mom, as her career really took off, too.
She went on to establish herself in the world of Hollywood, with memorable performances in Legally Blonde (2001) and, more recently, The White Lotus (2021). The HBO series even earned the 64-year-old two Emmys, a Critics Choice Award, and a Golden Globe.
