Better With Age: Michelle Pfeiffer Still Stunning At 54 (PHOTOS)

Andy Scott — Sat, 12 May 2012 16:00:17 +0000

Some women just have all the luck.

Among those women: Michelle Pfeiffer, who, at 54, looks just as good as (if not better than) she did when she first became popular on the big screen, back in the early ’80s.

Pfeiffer is still fabulous!

This week, the three-time Oscar nominee (how did she not win for The Fabulous Baker Boys?!) proved her genes are better than ever as she stepped out to promote her new movie, Dark Shadows (in theaters now).

The film marks her first collaboration with Batman Returns director Tim Burton in 20 years (!). Clearly, she’s shown no signs of aging in those two decades!

What do you think of Michelle’s modern-day look? Check it out now, as compared to a photo of her from 1989, then relive her sexy performance in The Fabulous Baker Boys in the video, below!

Michelle Pfeiffer Critiques Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman Role, Reveals She ‘Shamelessly Called’ Tim Burton For ‘Dark Shadows’ Job (EXCLUSIVE)

Celebuzz — Tue, 08 May 2012 11:30:39 +0000

The first time Michelle Pfeiffer worked with Tim Burton was in 1992’s Batman Returns in which she played Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. This summer, fans are looking forward to a new Catwoman, played by Anne Hathaway, 29, in The Dark Knight Rises, but is Pfeiffer?

“I love Anne Hathaway, I’m a huge fan,” the 54-year-old actress told Celebuzz. “The nature of all of these characters is they’re played by different people all the time. I think she’s great and I think she’s going to be awesome.”

While there’s a new Batman cast and crew, Pfeiffer and Burton are back working together again in the new film Dark Shadows.

She admits that the two hadn’t talked in years when she nervously called him and asked for a part.

“I shamelessly called him – ‘gimme a job after,’ twenty years,” she laughed. “At that point, I don’t even know if there was a script. I just said, ‘If there’s anything, I want to throw my hat in the ring.’ So then I hung up and thought, ‘I’ll never hear from him again.’ But I did.”

Burton admits he was surprised to hear from Pfeiffer after so many years. “It was along time ago but it just flooded back how impressed I remember being with Michelle,” he confessed, only to add:

“She learned how to use a whip, jump around on roofs with high-heeled shoes, let live birds fly out of her mouth, let cats eat her. Very impressive stuff.”

Burton and Pfeiffer say their first day on set of Dark Shadows (in theaters May 11) was a dodgy one as the actress had trouble walking down a flight of stairs in ridiculously high heels. “He had me in eight-inch platform shoes walking down that treacherous staircase — I wasn’t allowed to look down,” she growled playfully. “Great laughs at my expense for Mr. Burton.”

Guess when you take on an iconic role like Catwoman, Burton thinks you can handle heels of any kind!

Dark Shadows — also starring Johnny Depp, Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Moretz and Eva Green — is about an imprisoned vampire, Barnabas Collins, who is set free and returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.

Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer & More: ‘Dark Shadows’ Creepy Character Posters! (PHOTOS)

Amanda Hasaka — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:30:13 +0000

Last week, the trailer for Dark Shadows, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton‘s latest collaboration, was unveiled but now it’s time to get a better look at the cast!

Based on the 1960s soap opera of the same name, Depp plays vampire Barnabus Collins who comes back from the dead (sort of) and vows to help restore his family’s business to it’s former glory. Set in the 1970s, Barnabus hits a bit of a snag after the woman who turned him into a vampire (James Bond star Eva Green) tries to torture him into loving her.

So, who else stars and makes up Barnabus’ twisted family tree?

Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter (who is hilarious in the trailer, by the way!) as well as Chloe Moretz all star in the film, out May 11.

Check out the posters in the gallery!

Zac Efron Calls Kissing 53-Year-Old Michelle Pfeiffer ‘Best Part of Movie’ (VIDEO)

Jackie Willis — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:53:14 +0000

Michelle Pfeiffer‘s character Ingrid in New Year’s Eve is looking to fulfill her New Year’s resolutions in one day and she seeks the help of hottie Zac Efron‘s much younger character Paul. The actors (who have already appeared together in Hairspray) chatted Wednesday morning with Matt Lauer on the TODAY show, and the anchor just had to ask about the kissing scene.

Matt inquired as to wether the scene was awkward given the age difference of Zac and Michelle, Zac being 24 and Michelle being 53. “Are you kidding?” Zac quipped back. “It’s the best part of the movie!”

“I think we started out thinking it was going to be a little more of a shock than it ends up being,” Michelle clarified. Zac added, smiling:

“It turns out to be really fun. … It was kind of our idea.”

Zac and Michelle disclosed that there wasn’t actually a kiss in the original scene, but they suggested it to famed romcom director Garry Marshall (Valentine’s Day, Pretty Woman). “In the original script it was a little softer,” Zac admitted. “New Year’s Eve magic, it’s about love.”

Madonna Gives Good Face?

Celebuzz — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:40:02 +0000

Madonna‘s miracle surgery visage graces the cover of New York Magazine. The Madge mug is hailed in “The New New Face” as the prototype for the new 40- and 50-something standard of celebrity beauty.

The author claims that the Hard Candy singer, who turns 50 this month, has defied the notion that “past a certain age, to paraphrase Catherine Deneuve, it’s either your fanny or your face.”

“A yoga body plus the New New Face may not be a fountain of youth,” claims the author, “but it’s a fountain of indeterminate age.”

It seems that the magazine’s fact checkers didn’t have a chance to take a gander at this candid look at Madonna.

Included in the list of female celebrities displaying the qualities of a New New Face are Angelina Jolie (who at 33 is the baby of the aging bunch), Demi Moore and Michelle Pfeiffer.

But let’s not forget that for every successful foray into plastic surgery, there a hundred cautionary tales.
