Michelle Pfeiffer
Because Michelle Pfeiffer had starred in Grease
2, Brian de Palma, the director of Scarface, didn't wish to
consider Michelle to play alongside Al Pacino in that great film about the gangster. But Martin
Bregman, the producer, wanted Michelle Pfeiffer and twisted de Palma's arm, insisting he cast her and thank goodness for that!
I thought she was great as the cocaine-addicted trophy wife,
Elvira Hancock. And, quite rightly, the roles began to flow
in for the georgeous Michelle Pfeiffer. Ladyhawke, Into The
Night, Sweet Liberty, and then The Wiches Of Eastwick with
Jack Nicholson, Cher and Susan Sarandon and Pfeiffer's break-through
into the Hollywood A-list. Better roles flowed in such as
the excellent Married To The Mob, and a film I love, Tequila
Sunrise, and then the classic, Dangerous Liaisons where she
won deserved acclaim and a nomination for an Oscar for best
supporting actress. The next year Michelle Pfeiffer had another
nomination, this time for best actress for her stunning role
in the Baker Boys, considered by many to be her finest performance.
But, for me, Michelle Pfeiffer stretched her considerable
talent even further with the touching and difficult role of
Frankie in Terrence McNally's brilliant Frankie And Johnny, where Michelle again starred alongside Al Pacino.
Michelle Pfeiffer's Frankie is a character I just wanted,
no, needed to hold and comfort and caress. So damaged and
so beautiful, so strong and so fragile, my heart went out
to her and that is why Michelle Pfeiffer is a great actress...

The Hollywood Movie History
The greats of the silent movie period included
Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live
on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps
the most successful of the stars who began their career in the
silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies.
The western film genre has been the birth place for many great
film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster
movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title
greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought
Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and
a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien
Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's
Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in
High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts
in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances
I have experience by women in the movies...
