Pfeiffer’s origins in the world of acting
Her beginnings had nothing to do with acting. She studied court stenography but decided to radically change her life in the late 1970s. After winning a beauty pageant in Orange County, she began to dabble in the world of acting in various TV movies on CBS and other American networks.
After participating in the disastrous ‘Grease 2′, the sequel to the mythical film of Travolta and Newton-John, she got the role that would change her career: she played Elvira Hankcock, Tony Montana’s wife in ‘Scarface’ (1983) by Brian de Palma. Another of her hits was ‘Into the Night’ (1984).
Michelle Pfeiffer’s Oscar nominations
Pfeiffer’s breakthrough came in 1988, when she had six consecutive Golden Globe nominations winning in 1989 for ‘The Fabulous Baker Boys’.
As for her Oscar nominations, she has been nominated three times: Best Supporting Actress for ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ (1988), Best Actress for ‘The Fabulous Baker Boys’ (1989) and Best Actress for ‘Above All’ (1992).
After a first decade of the century in which she took on less relevant roles, in early 2010 she returned to acting again by the hand of Luc Besson, with ‘A Dangerous Family’. In 2017 she was again nominated for Golden Globes for her role as Ruth Madoff, Bernard Madoff’s wife in ‘The Wizard of Lies’ alongside Robert de Niro. In 2020 would come eighth and most recent Golden Globe nomination for ‘French Exit’.
