A sect, 50 films and two children later: this is how the iconic Michelle Pfeiffer has changed

Michelle Pfeiffer turns 65 this Saturday and celebrates it with her return to the big screen, in the new installment of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and leaving in her wake a trail of iconic characters in films that are today a classic of Hollywood.

A lot has changed since she played Sue Wellington in Back to Love (1980). At just twenty years old, Pfeiffer made herself known, like many other actresses, at a beauty pageant. She tried her luck in modeling and also in small roles in telefilms.

But his rise to fame came in 1983 at the hands of Al Pacino. Converted into the elegant and stylish "Elvira" from Scarface, with a blue satin dress -which returns every Halloween in a cool costume version-, Pfeiffer began her rise to the top of Hollywood.

That role would be preceded by others as famous as Catwoman in Batman Returns, 'Suckie' in The Witches of Eastwick - along with Cher and Susan Sarandon or 'LouAnne' in Dangerous Minds. In her extensive career, she has focused mainly on fantastic cinema, romances and action films.

Unlike many celebrities of her stature, Pfeiffer has always tried to preserve her privacy and in fact, has managed to keep her personal life low-key, away from the tabloid tabloids thanks to taking long breaks during her career to care for her two adopted children. , Claudia and John Henry Kelley.

The actress celebrates this year 30 years of marriage with film producer David E. Kelly. Three decades after getting married, the interpreter is full of praise: “I was very lucky. I have never met a person who has more integrity than my husband. I respect it. There is also his humor and intelligence, and he is really handsome,” she said in an interview.

However, before the great love of her life arrived, Pfeiffer was previously married to actor Peter Horton. From that short marriage, at the beginning of her in the chaotic and accelerated Hollywood, the artist has only highlighted before the press that it was thanks to him that she was able to leave a sect called breathers.

This cult believes that you can do long fasts and live solely on sunlight. Thanks to the fact that Horton was preparing a role in a film related to cults, Pfeiffer understood that many of the scenes or characteristics of what she recounted as her current husband were similar to what she herself was experiencing. Pfeiffer managed to leave the sect but not before having squandered part of her savings on it.
