Pfeiffer received her first of six consecutive Golden Globe Award nominations for Married to the Mob (1988). Her performances in Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) earned her two consecutive Academy Award nominations, for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress respectively, winning a Golden Globe Award for the latter.

Early life
Michelle Marie Pfeiffer was born on April 29, 1958, in Santa Ana, California, the second of four children of Donna Jean (née Taverna), a housewife, and Richard Pfeiffer, an air-conditioning contractor.[1] She has an older brother, Rick, and two younger sisters, Dedee[2] and Lori.[3] Her parents were both originally from North Dakota.[4] Her paternal grandfather was of German ancestry and her paternal grandmother was of English, Welsh, French, Irish, and Dutch descent, while her maternal grandfather was of Swiss-German-Italian descent and her maternal grandmother of Swedish ancestry.[5][6] The family moved to Midway City, another Orange County community around seven miles (11 km) away, where Pfeiffer spent her early years.[7]
Pfeiffer attended Fountain Valley High School, graduating in 1976.[8] She worked as a check-out girl at Vons supermarket, and attended Golden West College[9] where she was a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. After a short stint training to be a court stenographer, she pursued an acting career.[10] Pfeiffer won the Miss Orange County beauty pageant in 1978 and finished sixth in the Miss California contest the same year.[11] After her appearances in these pageants, Pfeiffer acquired an agent and began to audition for television and film roles.[12]
Career
Late 1970s and 1980s
Pfeiffer made her acting debut in 1978, in a one-episode appearance of Fantasy Island.[8] Other roles on television series followed, including Delta House, CHiPs, Enos and B.A.D. Cats, as well as in the made-for-CBS film The Solitary Man (1979).[13] Pfeiffer transitioned to film with the comedy The Hollywood Knights (1980), with Tony Danza, appearing as high school sweethearts. She subsequently played supporting roles in Falling in Love Again (1980) with Susannah York and Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen (1981), none of which met with much critical or box office success. She appeared in a television commercial for Lux soap,[14] and took acting lessons at the Beverly Hills Playhouse,[15] before appearing in three 1981 television movies – Callie and Son, with Lindsay Wagner, The Children Nobody Wanted and Splendor in the Grass.
Pfeiffer obtained her first major film role as the female lead in Grease 2 (1982), the sequel to the smash-hit musical film Grease (1978).[16] With only a few television roles and small film appearances, the 23-year-old Pfeiffer was an unknown actress when she attended the casting call audition for the role, but according to director Patricia Birch, she won the part because she "has a quirky quality you don't expect".[17] The film was a critical and commercial failure but Pfeiffer's performance was noted as a standout.[18] The New York Times remarked: "[A]lthough she is a relative screen newcomer, Miss Pfeiffer manages to look much more insouciant and comfortable than anyone else in the cast."[19] Despite escaping the critical mauling, her agent later admitted that her association with the film meant that "she couldn't get any jobs. Nobody wanted to hire her."[16] On her early screen roles, she asserted: "I needed to learn how to act ... in the meantime, I was playing bimbos and cashing in on my looks."[8]
Director
Following Scarface, she played Diana in John Landis' comedy Into the Night (1985), with Jeff Goldblum; Isabeau d'Anjou in Richard Donner's fantasy film Ladyhawke (1985), with Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick; Faith Healy in Alan Alda's Sweet Liberty (1986), with Michael Caine; and Brenda Landers in a segment of the 1950s sci-fi parody Amazon Women on the Moon (1987), all of which, despite achieving only modest commercial success, helped to establish her as an actress. She finally scored a major box-office hit as Sukie Ridgemont in the 1987 adaptation of John Updike's novel The Witches of Eastwick, with Jack Nicholson, Cher, and Susan Sarandon. The film received positive reviews and grossed over $63.7 million domestically, equivalent to $171 million in 2023 dollars,[24][25] becoming one of her earliest critical and commercial successes.[26][27] Praising their comedic timing, Roger Ebert wrote that Pfeiffer and her female co-stars each "have a delicious good time with their roles",[28] while the Los Angeles Times film critic Sheila Benson said Pfeiffer makes her character "a warm, irresistible character."[29]
Pfeiffer was cast against type, as a murdered gangster's widow, in
At Demme's personal recommendation,[16] Pfeiffer joined the cast of Stephen Frears's Dangerous Liaisons (1988), with Glenn Close and John Malkovich, playing Madame Marie de Tourvel, the virtuous victim of seduction. Hal Hinson of The Washington Post saw Pfeiffer's role as "the least obvious and the most difficult. Nothing is harder to play than virtue, and Pfeiffer is smart enough not to try. Instead, she embodies it. Her porcelain-skinned beauty, in this regard, is a great asset, and the way it's used makes it seem an aspect of her spirituality."[33] She won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role[34] and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.[35]
Pfeiffer then accepted the role of

In 1990, Pfeiffer formed her own film production company, Via Rosa Productions, with business partner Kate Guinzburg, whom she had met on the set of Sweet Liberty (1986). The company was under a picture deal with

The first film her company produced was the independent drama
Following the formation of her producing company, Via Rosa Productions, Pfeiffer saw a professional expansion as a producer. While she continued to act steadily throughout the decade, she and her producing partner Guinzburg experienced a winning streak of producing back to back films next under their header. She starred with Jack Nicholson in the 1994 horror film Wolf, portraying the sardonic and willful interest of a writer who becomes a wolf-man at night after being bitten by a creature. The film was released to a mixed critical reception;[62] The New York Times wrote: "Ms. Pfeiffer's role is underwritten, but her performance is expert enough to make even diffidence compelling."[63] Wolf was a commercial success, grossing US$65 million (equivalent to $134 million in 2023) at the domestic box office and US$131 million worldwide (equivalent to $269 million).[64]
Pfeiffer's next role was that of high school teacher and former

2000s
Pfeiffer began to dissolve her film production company, Via Rosa Productions, in 1999, and moved into semi-retirement to spend more quality time with her children and family. Pfeiffer handed her producing partner Guinzburg one final film to produce under the Via Rosa Productions header. The film was called Original Sin (2001). It was originally intended to star Pfeiffer, who later changed her mind as she was looking to work less for a while. The film was produced by her company, but instead starred Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas.

Her next film, an adaptation of Colette's Chéri, reunited her with the director (Stephen Frears) and screenwriter (Christopher Hampton) of Dangerous Liaisons (1988). Pfeiffer played the role of aging retired courtesan Léa de Lonval, with Rupert Friend in the title role, with Kathy Bates as his mother. Chéri premiered at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival, where it received a nomination for the Golden Bear award.[115] The Times of London reviewed the film favorably, describing Hampton's screenplay as a "steady flow of dry quips and acerbic one-liners" and Pfeiffer's performance as "magnetic and subtle, her worldly nonchalance a mask for vulnerability and heartache".[116] Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that it was "fascinating to observe how Pfeiffer controls her face and voice during times of painful hurt".[117] Kenneth Turan in the Los Angeles Times praised the "wordless scenes that catch Léa unawares, with the camera alone seeing the despair and regret that she hides from the world. It's the kind of refined, delicate acting Pfeiffer does so well, and it's a further reminder of how much we've missed her since she's been away."[118]

Pfieffer reunited with Tim Burton, her Batman Returns director, in
The only trepidation was I think I took for granted how nice it was to not be under the spotlight and just having a life. I remember thinking, "Do I really want to step back into this?" And I just realized that I'm not done. I have a lot more to do, and a lot more to say. I'm never going to be one that retires.
— Pfeiffer on her comeback, 2017[130]
Pfeiffer stated that her lack of acting throughout the 2000s was due to several reasons, including family matters and her approach to choosing roles.[131][132] She stated she was intending to "work a lot" once her children left for college,[133] mentioning that she felt her best performance was "still in her", saying how that's what she felt kept her going.[134]
In the independent drama Where Is Kyra?, Pfeiffer starred as a sensitive and fragile woman who loses her mother and "faces a crisis in which she must find a means for survival, all the while hiding her struggles from her new lover". The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2017, and received a limited release on April 6, 2018,[135] to critical acclaim;[136][137][138] Her role as Kyra was called the "performance of her life" by Village Voice's Bilge Ebiri,[139] and "the performance of her career", by Rolling Stone.[140]
Pfeiffer landed the role of
In
Pfeiffer played a widowed socialite in Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express (2017), the fourth screen adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1934 novel of the same name. Featuring an ensemble cast, the mystery film follows world-renowned detective Hercule Poirot (Branagh) attempting to solve a murder, while stranded with several suspects on the Orient Express during the 1930s.[155] She also recorded the original song "Never Forget" for the film's soundtrack. The film grossed US$351.7 million worldwide and received decent reviews from critics, with praise for the performances, but criticism for not adding anything new to previous adaptations.[156] Although some critics found its large cast underused, Pfeiffer's performance was praised, with Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times saying she delivered the film's best performance.[157] The New Yorker's Anthony Lane found that only Pfeiffer appears to be enjoying their material,[158] while Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle credited the film with reminding audiences that she is one of the industry's best actresses.[159] David Edelstein of Vulture described the actress as "a hoot and a half ... stealing every scene".[160]

2020s
Pfeiffer headlined the dark comedy
Pfeiffer portrayed former First Lady Betty Ford in the anthology drama television series The First Lady, which premiered on Showtime in April 2022.[179][180] The series received mixed reviews and was cancelled after one season.[181][182] The following year, she reprised the role of Janet van Dyne in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.[183]
Pfeiffer is attached to star alongside Annette Bening in the psychological thriller, Turn of Mind, set to be directed by Gideon Raff.[184] In 2022, she was cast in Wild Four O'Clocks, penned and directed by Peter Craig, and produced by Marc Platt and Adam Siegel.[185]
On March 18, 2024, it was announced that Pfeiffer had been cast in the Amazon MGM holiday comedy Oh. What. Fun.[186]
Acting style and reception
Pfeiffer said she sometimes feels
During the 1980s, Pfeiffer typically played smart, funny, and independent women,[195] and pursued a wider range of roles in the 1990s.[27] Early in her career, Pfeifer mostly played relatable working class women, apart from the occasional upper class character.[196] She has admitted to enjoying playing imperfect, evil, and "slightly trashy" females.[197][198][8] In a 2021 profile, Lynn Hirschberg of W said Pfeiffer excels in emotionally conflicted roles,[197] while Adam Platt of New Woman and journalist Bilge Ebiri agreed that she tends to play emotionally detached women.[199][200] Backstage contributor Manuel Betancourt observed parallels between Pfeiffer's roles and her own determination to subvert expectations,[201] with the actress confirming that she searches for relatability when selecting new projects.[202][203] However, Town & Country senior editor Adam Rathe finds Pfeiffer dissimilar to most of her characters.[204] Known to be highly selective about potential projects,[202] IndieWire contributor Kate Erbland believes Pfeiffer carefully chooses unconventional roles to avoid being typecast,[50] although Pfeiffer claims to not know what her ideal type is.[198] Pfeiffer's colleagues have described her as extremely committed, competent, and prepared when it comes to her work,[189][199] but she refuses to watch her own performances.[205]
Pfeiffer has been called one of the greatest actresses of her generation.
Pfeiffer was one of the highest-paid actresses of the 1980s and 1990s,
Pfeiffer was awarded a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007.[227]
Public image
Pfeiffer has been described as one of the world's most beautiful and talented actresses.
Pfeiffer was considered one of the preeminent
Famous for being fiercely private like the characters she plays,
Media commentators noted that Pfeiffer had unexpectedly become a "pop-music muse" in 2014; her name is mentioned in two of the year's most popular songs: "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars, and "Riptide" by Vance Joy.[250][251][252][253] Joy was particularly inspired by Pfeiffer's transformation from Selina Kyle into Catwoman in Batman Returns,[250] whereas Ronson cited The Fabulous Baker Boys as his favorite Pfeiffer film.[254] Australian cricketers speak of "getting a Michelle" when they take five wickets in an innings. In cricketing parlance, this is referred to as a "five for", a near-homophone for "Pfeiffer", which resulted in the nickname "Michelle".[255]

In 2005, Pfeiffer served as the face of Giorgio Armani's spring campaign; the designer has often dressed her for public appearances.[256][205]
In 2019, she launched a collection of fine fragrances called Henry Rose.[257] It is the first fine fragrance line to be both Cradle to Cradle Certified and EWG Verified.[258] On December 7, 2022, she promoted the line on The Tonight Show. It was even featured as one of the smells in the game called "Sniff Cup Flip Cup" she played against Jimmy Fallon.[259]

Pfeiffer and Horton decided to separate in 1988, and were divorced two years later. Horton later blamed the split on their devotion to their work rather than their marriage.
In 1993, Pfeiffer married television writer and producer David E. Kelley.[274] She made a brief uncredited cameo appearance in one episode of Kelley's television series Picket Fences and played the title character in To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, for which Kelley wrote the screenplay.[275] She had entered into private adoption proceedings before she met Kelley,[276] and in March 1993 adopted a newborn daughter, Claudia Rose,[277] who was christened on Pfeiffer's and Kelley's wedding day.[278] In 1994, Pfeiffer gave birth to a son, John Henry Kelley II, named for his grandfather and Pfeiffer's father-in-law, United States Hockey Hall of Fame coach John Henry "Jack" Kelley.[279]
Pfeiffer experimented with a plant-based diet for a few years but later added meat to her diet and advocated a "paleoish" diet.[280][281][282]
