	Actors - Michelle Pfeiffer

Michelle Pfeiffer (born April 29, 1958) is an Oscar nominated American actress.

Born in Santa Ana, Orange County, California to Dick Pfeiffer and Donna Taverno, she has three siblings, an older brother and two younger sisters. She is of Dutch, German, Irish, Swedish and Swiss descent. Her younger sister, Dedee Pfeiffer, is also an actress, but mostly on TV.

Known for her paradisiacal looks and effervescent, otherwordly talent, Pfeiffer is said to be found at her best when essaying complex and layered characterizations. In films like Dangerous Liaisons
or, perhaps more evidently, as the iconic Selina Kyle/Catwoman in Batman Returns
, she is the epitome of tragic beauty, always toying with the dark line that separates internal, feline passion from outward facade. In 2002's White Oleander, she plays fatal beauty gone astray.

In 1981, she married actor Peter Horton, but they later divorced. In 1993, Pfeiffer adopted a girl, Claudia Rose Pfeiffer; later that year, she married producer David E. Kelley, the creator of the television series Chicago Hope and Ally McBeal. Michelle bore her and Kelley's son, Jack Henry Kelley in 1994.

Her first starring role was in the 1982 musical Grease 2
. She also starred in Scarface, Married to the Mob
, The Fabulous Baker Boys
, Dangerous Liaisons
, Dangerous Minds
, The Russia House
, Frankie and Johnny, and What Lies Beneath
, among others. Her most recent work includes roles in the movies Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
, What Lies Beneath
, White Oleander, and I Am Sam.

In 2007, for the first time, Michelle will work with Robert De Niro, in the sci-fi Stardust.

While Pfeiffer is thought to have peaked as a star during the late 1980s/early 1990s (earning three Oscar nominations during this period), she could nonetheless be in the process of a comeback with at least three future projects in the making (see filmography).
