Michelle Pfeiffer

Perhaps it wouldn’t be too surprising to know that just about everyone knows of actress Michelle Pfeiffer to some degree. Originally wanting to be a stenographer, she ultimately shifted her sights to acting and debuted in an episode of Fantasy Island. Other appearances she had at the start of her career were in shows like BAD Cats, CHiPs, and Delta House.

While Pfeiffer could’ve settled with playing an archetype and still be successful at it, the actress wasn’t content with that type of career. She has since garnered widespread recognition for her fondness of taking on a variety of roles in different genres. After her performance as Elvira Hancock in 1983’s Scarface brought her to greater fame, Pfeiffer has since starred in numerous projects, including 1992’s Batman Returns, 2007’s musical Hairspray, 2017’s Where’s Kyra and Murder on the Orient Express.
