Michelle pfeiffer's thread :)

Hi! I don't know if here there are people who love Michelle Pfeiffer but if she is nominated for the best actress by people if for something and if she's nominated for the sexiest woman in the world too
She's my fave actress (after Audrey Hepburn, of course) so I'd like to do a thread of her I'd like to share with all of you the news of her career and pictures too!!
So here's a little information about her firstly :P



Michelle Marie Pfeiffer, born April 29, 1958, is a Golden Globe-, BAFTA-winning and Academy Award-nominated American actress. In a career spanning more than 25 years, she has starred in films such as Scarface, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Batman Returns, One Fine Day, Dangerous Minds, Up Close & Personal, I Am Sam, What Lies Beneath, Hairspray, Stardust, and Grease 2 .

Career
1980s: Early success

Her first major screen role was in 1980 in the films The Hollywood Knights and Falling in Love Again. However, both films failed to get her widespead notice. She tried a TV career when she starred in Great Yellow Bird, Fantasy Island, Callie & Son, Splendor in the Grass, "Scarface", and The Children Nobody Wanted. She returned to film in Grease 2; it was weakly received by critics and audiences, despite gaining a cult following.

It was not until 1983, when Pfeiffer co-starred with Al Pacino in Brian De Palma's gangster classic Scarface, that she caught the attention of Hollywood. In 1985, she starred in the fantasy romance Ladyhawke, which gave Pfeiffer good reviews, but failed to become a box office success. In 1987, she starred in The Witches of Eastwick, which was a box office smash and a critical success. Through 1988 and 1989, Pfeiffer earned worldwide critical acclaim in Married to the Mob, Dangerous Liaisons, and The Fabulous Baker Boys; those films also earned her Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe award wins and nominations.

1990s: Continued success
Through the 1990s, she continued her Hollywood stardom: The Russia House, Frankie and Johnny starring Al Pacino, Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton & Danny Devito, The Age of Innocence, Wolf starring Jack Nicholson, Dangerous Minds (Pfeiffer also made a cameo in the music video for Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise, the signature tune from the film's soundtrack) , and One Fine Day starring George Clooney. She received her third Oscar nomination in 1993 for Love Field. Pfeiffer was also cast for the part of Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs (film), but turned it down.

2000s: Hiatus and renewed success
In 2000, she starred with Harrison Ford in one of the biggest box office hits of the year, Robert Zemeckis's supernatural thriller What Lies Beneath. In 2001, she starred opposite Sean Penn in I Am Sam and in 2002 alongside Renée Zellweger and Robin Wright Penn in White Oleander, which earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress.

She then took a lengthy hiatus from the spotlight but returned to acting in 2006. Her first projects teamed her with director Amy Heckerling in the romantic comedy I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007, opposite Paul Rudd), as well as opposite Robert De Niro, Claire Danes, and Sienna Miller in the fantasy epic Stardust. Pfeiffer co-starred in the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Hairspray as Velma Von Tussle. She will make a cameo appearance in The Prince and the Pauper, a film in which her sister Dedee stars. Pfeiffer received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on August 6, 2007, in front of the Hollywood & Highland Center.

On her return to acting, she has said, "Now that I'm working again, I realize I really like this stuff."

Pfeiffer's recently completed work on the romantic drama, Personal Effects with Ashton Kutcher, due in 2008. Pfeiffer stars in her next film, Chéri, the French-period drama. Kathy Bates, and Rupert Friend, will co-star. The film will be directed by Stephen Frears. This is Frears' and Pfeiffer's second outing together. Frears' directed Pfeiffer in, Dangerous Liaisons. Filming began in April 2008.

She was, at an early stage, considered for the role of Donna in the film adaptation of the stage musical Mamma Mia, which was released July 18, but lost to Meryl Streep.

Personal life
In 1981, Pfeiffer married Thirtysomething actor Peter Horton but they divorced in 1988 at the height of her career. She has been romantically linked with actors Val Kilmer, John Malkovich, Michael Keaton, and Fisher Stevens. In 1993, Pfeiffer married writer/producer David E. Kelley (creator of The Practice and Ally McBeal).

Earlier that year, before meeting Kelley, Pfeiffer adopted a daughter Claudia Rose, who was then later adopted by Kelley following their marriage. The adopted baby was the daughter of an African American nurse living in New York who already had four children. On August 5, 1994, Pfeiffer gave birth to a son, John Henry. Pfeiffer's influences that persuaded her to act were Oscar-winning actresses Anne Bancroft and Ingrid Bergman.

great!! i thought that anybody love her but i was wrong! what is your favourite movie of her??

One of my favourite films has always been One Fine Day (i think i was around 9yrs old when i saw it on TV), and i was in love with her portrayal of Velma Von Tussle when i saw Hairspray last summer. But what really set me off was when i recently saw Batman Returns on TV and Michelle's Catwoman was just so captivating and unforgettable, she was just so delicious to watch onscreen! I just became instantly obsessed.My love to Michelle just increase year by year, even when she didn't work too much in recent years, but I'm happy that she's coming back to the big screen this year, with " I Could Never be Your Woman", "Stardust" and "Hairspray".

That's harsh Bibi, maybe it was just a bad angle or the lighting or something. Actually she turned 50 in April, I guess we never get to see how she really looks. Also It's sad how female celebs are not allowed to age naturally as male ones are, double standards at work I suppose.
