A Close Look At The Beautiful Life Of Michelle Pfeiffer

To The Television

Michelle Pfeiffer’s beauty pageant success caught the eye of an agent who offered to get her work on film and television. It took a few auditions before she was offered work. Her first roles were on Fantasy Island, a show about an island in the Pacific where people paid to make their fantasies come true, and Delta House, the TV sitcom which was basically a spin-off of the more successful National Lampoon’s Animal House movie.

She nearly broke into the major leagues when she auditioned to replace Kate Jackson in Charlie’s Angels, but she didn’t get the part. If she had, maybe she wouldn’t be the star she is today!

Her First Flirtations With Film

Michelle Pfeiffer has been blunt about the roles she played in her first few movies. “I needed to learn how to act,” she has said. “In the meantime, I was playing bimbos and cashing in on my looks.”

She starred in Falling in Love Again, a box office flop of a romantic comedy which critics called “a witless screenplay” and The Hollywood Knights, another failure, but one which launched several big careers in Hollywood including those of Fran Drescher and Tony Danza. Her finest hour in that period was in Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen, which was mildly well-received if you don’t count TV Guide, which rates it as 0 out of 5 stars.
