<\/a>By Geoffrey Huchel<\/strong><\/p>\nWith more than 60 film and TV credits and 3 Oscar nominations, Michelle Pfeiffer has been captivating audiences for over 30 years. Who can forget her crawling across a piano in that red dress as lounge singer Susie Diamond in \u201cThe Fabulous Baker Boys\u201d? The same can be said for how she cracked that whip with such panache as Catwoman in \u201cBatman Returns\u201d, and the way she handled Al Pacino\u2019s Tony Montana as Elvira Hancock in 1983\u2019s \u201cScarface\u201d. These are just a few of the many roles that have catapulted Michelle Pfeiffer into superstardom. After starting out as a beauty queen with a dream, she landed a few TV roles in the late 70s and early 80s and went on to win roles in the feature films \u201cThe Hollywood Knights\u201d, \u201cSweet Liberty\u201d and \u201cLadyhawke\u201d.<\/p>\n
In 1982, she landed her first starring role as Stephanie Zinone in the musical sequel \u201cGrease 2\u201d.

Her dual role as the mousy Selina Kyle and the slinky Catwoman earned her rave reviews and many fans have ranked hers as one of the best portrayals of the comic book character. In 1996 Pfeiffer teamed up with George Clooney, as Melanie Parker in the charming \u201cOne Fine Day\u201d.<\/p>\n
In 2000, she starred in the thriller \u201cWhat Lies Beneath\u201d as Claire Spencer, opposite Harrison Ford. This was a rare role for Pfeiffer who hadn\u2019t previously taken on the horror genre. Her brilliant performance as Ingrid, a murderous mother in \u201cWhite Oleander\u201d also garnered rave reviews. In 2007, she returned to the screen as the villainous Velma Von Tussle in the musical \u201cHairspray\u201d and as the evil witch Lamia in the fantasy \u201cStardust\u201d.<\/p>\n
After a long break, Pfeiffer returned to again work with Tim Burton in 2012\u2019s \u201cDark Shadows\u201d, based on the hit TV series.
