Life is going well for Michelle Pfeiffer in 1993 - her third Oscar nomination,her third listing as one of the world's most beautiful people,and the great personal joy of adopting a baby girl.She has two new films for release (then) - Martin Scorcese's Age of Innocence,co-starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder,which is expected to sweep the 1994 Academy Awards - and Wolf with Jack Nicholson.But how did she go from being a supermarket checkout girl in Orange County to Tinseltown's top cat in Batman Returns?
In this first full-length biography of Michelle Pfeiffer,acclaimed Hollywood watcher,Douglas Thompson,unveils the mysteries of her transformation.Through interviews with Pfeiffer,her family, school friends and teachers,Thompson reveals her wild early years and how she was brainwashed by a bizarre and expensive
vegetarian cult.He finds out what went wrong with her early marriage to Thirtysomething star,Peter Horton,and details her emotion-charged love affairs with Michael 'Batman' Keaton,her dangerous Liaisons co-star,the very married John Malkovich,and her three-year
relationship with actor Fisher Stevens, which began with an open-air staging of Twelfth Night in New York's Central Park.
Thompson has the inside story to life on the set.How Pfeiffer trained herself and her body to create the perfect Catwoman; how she became the sex siren,who memorably made love to a concert piano as Susie Diamond in The fabulous Baker Boys; and how she became almost inseparable friends with Cher,after starring together in The Witches of Eastwick.He also interviews her amazing gallery of leading men,including Keaton,Al Pacino,Sean Connery,Mel Gibson,Kurt Russell,Jeff Bridges and Bob Hoskins.What is the fascination of Pfeiffer? She herself admits to wielding 'sex and power'.
Director Steve Kloves says,'she is a dark soul'.Others talk of her 'bravery' and
'dedication'.These comments are fully explored in Thompson's intimate portrait of this highly respected and adored actress.
