Michelle Pfeiffer: Rumors, Controversy

Talking about the rumours, in early 2017 there was a rumour stating that Michelle Pfeiffer was dead when the Facebook page “R.I.P Michelle Pfeiffer” got about 1 million likes.

Who are the parents of Michelle Pfeiffer?

Michelle Marie Pfeiffer was born on April 29, 1958, in California, United States. As of 2024, she is 65 years old. Her nationality is American and her ethnicity is mixed(German, Swiss-German, Swedish).

Pfeiffer was the second of four children of Richard Pfeiffer who was an air-conditioning contractor, and Donna, a housewife. She has one elder brother, Rick, and two younger sisters, Dedee and Lori. Michelle Pfeiffer spent her childhood in Midway City.

Talking about her educational background, she graduated in 1976 from Fountain Valley High School. Pfeiffer attended one year at the Golden West College, where she studied to become a court reporter.

But it was while working as a supermarket checker at Vons, a large Southern California grocery chain, that she realized that she wanted to pursue a career in the acting field.

Michelle Pfeiffer then started to take part in different beauty pageants and acquired an acting agent and began to audition for television and films.

Michelle Pfeiffer: Professional Life, Career

Michelle made her film debut in 1980 in the movie “The Hollywood Knights”. In her early acting period, she played television roles in Fantasy Island, Delta House, and BAD Cats.

Pfeiffer also did some theatrical roles which included falling in love again, Charlie Chan, and the Curse of the Dragon Queen which was not quite a success.

Michelle Pfeiffer made a comeback with her first major film role as Stephanie Zinone in Grease 2(1982), the sequel to the smash-hit musical Grease (1978).

Some of the movies where she has acted include Scarface, The Witches of Eastwick, Dangerous Liaisons, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Frankie and Johnny, Batman Returns, The Age of Innocence, One Fine Day, What Lies Beneath Stardust, and Hairspray among others.

Interestingly, Michelle had turned down the main lead in Pretty Woman, which was done later by Julia Roberts.

Pfeiffer’s career picked up momentum in the mid-’80s as she proved she was more than just a pretty face by acting opposite some of the most respected names in the business (Al Pacino in Scarface, Jack Nicholson in The Witches of Eastwick).

In 1988, she showcased her versatility with three diverse turns in a trio of distinctly different films: the ubiquitous woman caught between two men in the action flick Tequila Sunrise.

A Mafia widow trying to start over in the comedy Married to the Mob; and a chaste 18th-century do-gooder targeted by a lothario in Dangerous Liaisons, a devastating performance that earned Pfeiffer her first Oscar nod.

Now an A-lister, Pfeiffer was careful not to pigeonhole herself, appearing in romantic comedies (One Fine Day), blockbusters (a delicious turn as Catwoman in Batman Returns), musicals (The Fabulous Baker Boys, which earned her a second Academy Award nomination) and myriad dramas, including a charming performance as Jackie O.’s No. 1 fan at Love Field, which netted her a third Oscar nod.

After lending her voice to the animated Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, Pfeiffer took a four-year hiatus from acting.

But Michelle Pfeiffer returned full force in 2007, starring in Amy Heckerling’s romantic comedy I Could Never Be Your Woman, and subsequently anchoring the fantasy adaptation Stardust and the period drama Chéri.
