Michelle Pfeiffer (Finally) Gets Her StarThursday, August 9-------Veteran actress Michelle Pfeiffer became an official Hollywood legend this week, when she (finally) received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Academy Award nominated star was all smiles at ceremonies held in Los Angeles on Monday. She thanked her mother and father for supporting her decision to become an actress. "My mother taught me that I could do anything and that I should have a career before I get married,” Pfeiffer was quoted as saying. "My father taught me that you can make something of yourself if you work hard.”
She had high profile roles in other 1980s films including starring opposite Cher, Susan Sarandon and Jack Nicholson in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK (1987); the gum-chewing ex-Mob moll in Jonathan Demme's winning comedy, MARRIED TO THE MOB (1988) and pairing with hearthrob Mel Gibson in the stylish thriller TEQUILA SUNRISE (1988). She surprised the industry by going against type, playing a virginal innocent in the screen adaptation of DANGEROUS LIAISONS (1988), a role that won her a Best Supporting Actress nod from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (she did not win the Oscar). The following year, she was back with a Best Actress Oscar nod for her saucy performance as a sexy chanteuse in THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, where she got to sing in a husky singing voice that showed impressive lung power.
