Michelle Pfeiffer Wiki Biography
The American actress Michelle Marie Pfeiffer was born on 29 April 1958 in the city of Santa Ana, California, USA, into a well-off middle class family. of very mixed European descent – German, French, Irish, English, Welsh, and Dutch on her father’s side, and Swiss-German and Swedish on her mother’s. Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the best-known names in Hollywood, and boasts numerous Golden Globe nominations – including the award Pfeiffer won in 1989, for her part in the romantic comedy-drama “The Fabulous Baker Boys” – and one BAFTA Award, for Best Supporting Actress in the 1988 historical drama “Dangerous Liaisons”. This recognition, and her fame and popularity among filmgoers, goes a long way in explaining Michelle Pfeiffer’s considerable net worth.
So just how rich is Michelle Pfeiffer? Sources estimate that Michelle has accrued a net worth of $80 million over her lengthy and successful acting career of over 30 years.
Growing up, Pfeiffer attended Fountain Valley High School, and was initially set on being a law-court stenographer. However, after winning a local beauty competition in 1978, Pfeiffer became intrigued by the possibility of a career in acting, and further success in the pageant “Miss California” sealed the deal. Soon after, Michelle Pfeiffer attracted the attention of a professional acting agent, who opened the doors for her first auditions. An early blunder in appearing as one of the lead stars of the 1982 musical film “Grease 2” – sequel to the original “Grease” of 1978, which had featured John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John – almost cost Pfeiffer her career, as she found herself associated with a film that had been an utter commercial and critical failure.
However, Michelle Pfeiffer didn’t give up, and with the help of producer Martin Bregman, Pfeiffer landed a part in Brian de Palma’s 1983 cult classic crime drama “Scarface” alongside Al Pacino. Largely considered her breakout role, Michelle Pfeiffer received widespread acclaim for her performance, which paved the way for future roles in the hugely successful 1987 comedy-fantasy “The Witches of Eastwick”, where she appeared with Jack Nicholson and the popular singer and actress Cher, and Pfeiffer’s first Golden Globe-award performance in “The Fabulous Baker Boys”. These successes certainly had a part in ensuring Michelle Pfeiffer’s net worth continued to grow at an impressive pace, even in this early part of her career. In the years since, and despite a four-year break from acting between 2003 and 2007 to spend time with her family, Michelle Pfeiffer has continued to make successful and critically acclaimed performances in a number of high-profile films, including the successful 2007 musical film “Hairspray”. Altogether, Michelle has appeared in over 40 films, and well over 20 TV series’ and shows.
Still. the actress has been quoted as believing that her best performances are still ahead of her, and so continues to remain active in the film industry, set to appear in several upcoming productions.
In her personal life, today, Michelle Pfeiffer lives with her husband of over twenty years, writer and producer David E. Kelley. They have two children together – their adopted daughter Claudia, and their son John.

Michelle Pfeiffer Quotes
- [In 1990, recalling her early days in Hollywood] I remember that I used to get on the phone with Ellen Barkin. We were both unemployed. Nobody would hire us. Every part that we wanted, Debra Winger would steal. We could not get a job and we’d be hysterical for hours on the phone, bitching and moaning and kvetching.
- (On Grease 2 (1982)) “That film was a good experience for me. It taught me a valuable lesson. Before it even came out the hype had started. Maxwell and I were being thrust down the public’s throat in huge full page advertisements. There was no way we could live up to any of that and we didn’t. So the crash was very loud. But it did teach me not to have expectations.”
- [on Johnny Depp] — Johnny is one of the most iconic actors in cinema history. He was always on my bucket list.
- I really thought One Fine Day (1996) was a good movie. I know why it did badly. It was released at a bad time. Perhaps if it had been released at a better time it would have done better. But there are so many variables. It’s just all a big crapshoot.
- [on Married to the Mob (1988)] It’s a good one, I think. I had a great time on that with Jonathan Demme.
- [on The Witches of Eastwick (1987)] We were a great team. There were no personality clashes whatsoever among the actors. We became very close. It was a difficult shoot, but not because we didn’t get along. We started with an unfinished script, and then you get a lot of cooks in the kitchen and everyone’s doing rewrites and it just became really stressful. But if anything, it made us stick together. It was like all the actors were in the trenches together. Working without a script doesn’t work very well. We had a finished script but it wasn’t one everyone was satisfied with. There were constant changes and there was a lot of drama. It’s very rarely a positive to start without a solid foundation. It works sometimes.
- [on Shaquille O’Neal] He was so sweet to my son [John Henry, 14] at a game a few years ago. We have this great photo of him sitting by Shaq’s feet, and I swear my son and his feet are the same size.
- [on Anne Hathaway] Oh, I think she’s great. I’m actually very much looking forward to seeing her in the role (Catwoman). I’m a big fan of hers and I think she has everything you need for that role. She has the humor, she can go to dark places, shes obviously very talented. I think she’s going to be really good.
- I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d like to do an action movie. Yeah (I have done some action), but, I want to be like the Kiefer Sutherland character in 24. Jack Bauer? I want to be like him! I want to kick butt.
- The loss of youth, the loss of beauty – it definitely plays havoc with your psyche. There’s this transition from, ‘Wow, she looks really young for her age,’ to, ‘She looks great for her age.’ There is certainly a mourning process to that. I used to think I would never have surgery but it’s really hard to say never.
- I still think I’m going to be fired in the first week of every new job I take. Always. In fact, before I even start a movie I’ll try to get myself fired or think of a reason I should quit. I guess it’s fear of failure.
- I can’t see myself ever retiring. Ever. I started working part-time when I was 14 and still at school. And I’ve never stopped. From the moment I started, I loved it, and I feel like I always need to be productive in some way. But who knows? I may not always be acting; I hope I am. [2012]
- I love Robert Zemeckis. I would do the yellow pages if he was directing [October 2000 while promoting What Lies Beneath (2000)].
- There’s always those performances which are so inspiring they are reminders of why you’re in this business, and what you strive for and they continue to raise the bar for everyone. Like seeing Daniel Day-Lewis in just about anything that he does. He continues to inspire me.
- I remember that I used to get on the phone with Ellen Barkin. We were both unemployed. Nobody would hire us. For every part that we wanted, Debra Winger would steal. We could not get a job and we’d be hysterical for hours on the phone, bitching and moaning and kvetching. [Interview in Esquire, 1990].
- [on George Clooney while on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross (2001) BBC, 1 August 2007] He’s just a great guy, great with kids. I bet him he would get married and he keeps inflating the bet – from 100 dollars to 100,000 dollars. I still think he will, he’s a handsome devil.
- I look over and I’ve cut Al Pacino. This is the guy who already hates me. So, well, there goes that, I guess! But I actually think it’s when he began to like me. And we’ve been good friends ever since. I got the job. (July 2007 Inside the Actors Studio (1994)).
- [on having to turn down the part of Evita which eventually went to Madonna)] It was a very hard decision. I worked my ass off for that part. I was 6 months pregnant, doing Dangerous Minds (1995), taking voice lessons, and making demos on the weekend. Then, it got too expensive to keep the production in Los Angeles.
- Interview with Movieline April 2002: (On being asked who do you find ravishing?) I find Cate Blanchett just so beautiful, so chameleon-like, so good in such different things. Brad Pitt is great looking. He’s pretty cute and I’d like to work with him, too. There are people I love on- screen that I would love to work with. I adore George Clooney and I’d love to work with him again. I’d love to work with Ralph Fiennes. I’d love to work with Sean Penn again. I also find my husband very, very attractive.
- If you think hitting 40 is liberating, wait till you hit 50 – and I was surprised at how liberating it was. The anticipation of something is always much worse than the reality.
- It seems that my leading men just keep getting younger the older I get. [at the Berlin Film Festival whilst promoting Chéri (2009)]
- It’s my profound fear of embarrassment that’s kept me going. That’s the key to my success.
- (From Movieline magazine April 2002) People like Susan Sarandon and Meryl Streep have paved the way and our window of opportunity expands incrementally year by year. Obviously, the kind of roles I’m offered are different than before, but I feel like the roles have only gotten more interesting. I want to grow up to be Judi Dench or Ellen Burstyn. The older we get, the less we work, but look at the work just those two women are doing. It gets deeper.
- [on her role as “Velma Von Tussle” in Hairspray (2007)] It’s a lot of fun to play mean and sinister – but you certainly put yourself at risk for scenery chewing. And, every once in a while, Adam [Adam Shankman, the director] would come over to me after a take and say, “Hey, Michelle – is there a chair leg in your teeth?”
- Acting’s an odd profession for a young person; it’s so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there’s nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you’re not actually producing anything. For a young person, that’s really challenging.
- For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard – that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
- I have to say this singing was harder than any I’ve done before. The melodies are so fast that you can barely get a breath in. But once I got past the ‘Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into’ phase, it was so much fun to sing again.
- I was shocked at the prejudice, voiced in some quarters, over my decision to adopt a mixed-race baby. It’s really surprising that people still put so much emphasis on it. None of us are pure anything. We’re all a mixture. Claudia is a beautiful child, and some of the most beautiful people I’ve seen in the world have been of mixed race. As mother of both an adopted child and my own birth-child, there is absolutely no difference in the huge amount of love I feel for both my children. I always knew I wanted to adopt a child and also have one of my own. There is no difference at all.
- Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?
- I act for free, but I demand a huge salary as compensation for all the annoyance of being a public personality. In that sense, I earn every dime I make.
- [on cosmetic surgery] “If that nose or those jowls bother you, do it! But this epidemic of people losing sight of what looks good, the distortion that has been going on is creepy.”
- [on wearing her costume in Batman Returns (1992) for the first time]: “I thought to myself ‘I can’t move, I can’t breathe, I can’t think. I’m unhappy. I can’t act’.”
- [on playing her part of Claire Spencer in What Lies Beneath (2000)] “I thought about Drew Barrymore in the first Scream (1996) – I mean, ultimately that movie was more funny than scary, but the opening sequence was quite terrifying, and she portrayed terror in a way I’d never seen an actress do.”
- I still think people will find out that I’m really not very talented. I’m really not very good. It’s all just been a big sham.
