Michelle Pfeiffer has dominated Hollywood by making nearly 50 films, most of them hugely successful. This impressive filmography undoubtedly places her among the most popular and beloved Hollywood actresses.

To talk about her first films, we need to take a leap into the past, to 1980, the year in which he starred in two films: 'The Hollywood Knights' (1980) by Floyd Mutrux and 'Falling in Love Again' (1980) by Steven Paul.

The first real big hit, the film that got her incredible career off the ground, was 'Scarface' (1983) directed by Brian De Palma. She played unforgettable scenes opposite Al Pacino.

Michelle Pfeiffer played the role of Elvira Hancock, a great consumer of illegal substances. For the sake of the script, she had to lose a lot of weight. It caused concern to the entire crew.

Among her many films of those years, one that certainly remained in the hearts of many teenagers is 'Ladyhawke' (1985). The two protagonists - Pfeiffer and Rutger Hauer - are hit by a curse that sets them "Always together, eternally apart... "

In 1987, 'The Witches of Eastwick', directed by George Miller, starred Michelle Pfeiffer, Jack Nicholson, Cher, and Susan Sarandon.

Towards the end of the 1980s, she took part in eight films in just four years, including: 'Amazon Women on the Moon' (1987), 'Tequila Sunrise' (1988), and 'Dangerous Liaisons' (1988), the latter alongside the unsurpassed Glenn Close.

Even in the 90s, we could see the blonde actress as the protagonist of the big screen. In 1991, he returned to act alongside Al Pacino in the drama 'Frankie and Johnny', directed by Garry Marshall.

During her successful career, Michelle Pfeiffer was able to play any role, from drama to terror, crime, and comedy.

In 1992, in fact, she wore the tight suit of a sensual Catwoman in 'Batman Returns' (1992), directed by Tim Burton.

Many will remember this 1995 movie of international acclaim. 'Dangerous Minds' was both a gripping story of poverty and inequality and the subject of the world-famous music video of Coolio's 'Gangsta's Paradise.'

When Coolio passed away in 2022, Pfeiffer wrote on Instagram: "Heartbroken to hear of the passing of the gifted artist @coolio. A life cut entirely too short. As some of you may know I was lucky enough to work with him on Dangerous Minds in 1995. He won a Grammy for his brilliant song on the soundtrack - which I think was the reason our film saw so much success. I remember him being nothing but gracious. 30 years later I still get chills when I hear the song."

Michelle Pfeiffer dominated Hollywood in the 90s as she had in the 80s: 'Up Close & Personal' in 1996, alongside Robert Redford, 'One Fine Day' in 1996 with George Clooney (pictured), and 'The Story of Us' in 1999, directed by Rob Reiner and alongside Bruce Willis, are among her projects of that time.

Michelle Pfeiffer made us feel all kinds of emotions, even freaking us out in the thriller 'What Lies Beneath' (2000), directed by Robert Zemeckis and alongside Harrison Ford.

At the beginning of the new century, Michelle Pfeiffer already had a career of twenty years behind her. We now saw her as the protagonist in 'I Am Sam' (2001) with Sean Penn; 'Hairspray' (2007); 'Stardust' (2007); and 'Personal Effects' (2009).

In 2012 he starred once again in a Tim Burton film, 'Dark Shadows', together with Johnny Depp and Eva Green. A few years later she boarded the luxurious Orient Express (2017) in a film based on the eponymous crime novel by Agatha Christie.

As Michelle Pfeiffer neared 60, she didn't stop taking on interesting or lucrative roles. In 2018, she returned to a superhero movie playing Wasp in the film 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' with Paul Rudd. A year later, she appeared in 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil' (2019) as Queen Ingrid.

Michelle Pfeiffer has also worked a lot for television. In 'The First Lady', a 2022 US anthological television series created by Aaron Cooley, she played Betty Ford.

Meanwhile, she enjoys spending time with her family. Here we see her with her second husband - producer, and screenwriter David E. Kelley - and her adopted daughter Claudia Rose (1993) and her son, John Henry (1994).

With a successful career spanning more than forty years, Michelle Pfeiffer remains one of the most fascinating and elegant beauties Hollywood has ever had.
