"Involving, captivating eyes wonderful, delicate as the petals of a flower Michelle Pfeiffer, beautiful eyes of Hollywood", that considers the most attractive in the movie "Lady hawk" popular writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Perhaps you can agree. This fairy tale for adults is one of the most memorable films in the career of Michelle. She didn possible roles in fairy tales. And her own life, too, like a fairy tale with a happy end.
She was always terribly insecure. In 1995, on the eve of the centenary of cinema in America was published rating of "100 sexiest actors and Actresses of all times and peoples." Michelle was in the list of third - after Marilyn Monroe and johnny Depp. And still, at heart she remains insecure girl, grey mouse, which all somehow take the Firebird... And she is afraid of exposure - how on the first day, when appeared on the screen.
"If to be perfectly honest, " admits Michelle, I never considered myself attractive. In my childhood I was constantly teased because of the wide mouth and too puffy lips. I am in the beauty contest took part to get rid of complexes".
In childhood and youth, she really was not listed among the school beauties. Yes and not tried to attract the attention of: dressed modestly, hair was smoothly combed and tied in a ponytail. Michelle was a good girl and fourteen years she was earning my pocket money: first as a clerk in the store youth clothing, then the store clerk and stenographer. To participate in the beauty contest persuaded her parents and sisters. They tried to help Michelle to get rid of complexes. For her, home girl, was a real shock when he had first to make a fashion Perm, and then to go on stage in a swimsuit! From complexes Michelle is not cured: they haunt her to this day. But, winning the beauty contest, she made her first step towards her acting career. She was invited to appear in advertisements, she had her own agent who found her role in the television series and even in the movie... Though at first she had to play dumb beauties-blonde in very revealing costumes, and scarlet lipstick. And to make her frail figure more seductive, Michelle was forced to wear a huge invoice bust.
At first Michelle was on top of happiness because it saw the actress. But then she got bored and wanted something real, serious. Not getting those significant role, which she wanted, Michelle depression was comforted ice cream and donuts and as a result put on weight so that it was no longer even take on the role of dumb beauties. It seemed to her that her career has failed before it has even begun. After one unsuccessful auditions Michelle met on the street with a girl who promised her help and consolation.
Each of us faced on the streets with zealots, did you study the Bible or to solve all your problems with the help of a special technique... we Usually give up and go about their business on. But Michelle Pfeiffer in that day had no Affairs. And she desperately needed aid and comfort. I must say, it really helped her at first: Michelle stopped overeat, gave up Smoking and alcohol, gained confidence and was able to continue his career, and successfully. However, its dependence from the sect was comparable with the narcotic. And, as usual, the guru was pumped from the actress's ceccanti every earned dollar. "Probably at the time it was imperative that someone ran by me, and the sect is still better than drugs or some voluptuous crook. But she caused me and a lot of damage, the elimination of which took years", - said later actress. The name of this sect she still hides.
From the sectarians Michelle saved whirlwind romance with Director Peter Horton. The actress seemed: that's true love, they will create a family, and she would never be alone... When they got married, the bride was twenty-two, the groom twenty - six. The marriage was happy, but didn't last long: he was destroyed by a permanent separation, inevitable in the acting profession. No, Michelle and Peter was not jealous of each other and certainly did not change, but... the rift between them grew, and everyone tried to blame the other. Michelle was especially bad: she was hoping that the marriage will save her from loneliness, but "alone together" was no better.
"It is the greatest folly to marry at such a young age, because it ends with a deafening crash, " said Michel ten years later. In my opinion, people should not get married before thirty years. In order to grow, need to experience certain things. Now I and Peter get along fine with him, but once we were ready to tear each other to shreds".
Michelle had been seriously affected by the disorder. Since the divorce Peter insisted, she clung to his crumbling marriage and was saved only by spending time with the family: her parents and sisters. Every night Michelle called home: "Before going to sleep, I talked first with my mother, then with her sisters and in the end wished good night to his father. This fellowship gave me a sense of security and belonging to the family".
The tale "Lady hawk" became the first artistic success of the young actress Michelle Pfeiffer. Medieval legend about two lovers, beautiful Isabo and brave captain Navarro, whose evil Bishop, offended at the refusal of Izabo, doomed to be forever together and yet eternally separated. In the afternoon Izabo turns into a hawk, which carries with him a fugitive Navarro, and at night she returns to human form - but Navarro turns into a wolf... of Course, the curse will be lifted, and evil will be defeated. It always happens in fairy tales - and sometimes, very rarely happens in life.
The real success came to her after painting "the witches of Eastwick" on the popular novel by John Updike. However, from the book American classic scenario remained except the main storyline. However, most fans "Isticky witches believe that Director George Miller has changed for the better very tedious and complicated novel, transforming it into a lovely mystical Comedy where three single provincial - cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer - resist the demon-tempter Jack Nicholson. The film is still popular today, and in 1987 he produced a bombshell.
Was successful and the next film - "Married to the mafia, where probably little changed in brunette Michelle played the widow of the Italian mafia.
In 1988, directed by Stephen Frears invited Michelle Pfeiffer, already recognized star in the role of presidents de Tourvel in another adaptation of the famous novel in letters, who wrote in the late eighteenth century the French officer Choderlos de Laclos. "Dangerous liaisons" was another peak in the career of Michelle. Neither before nor after was not so right, so true, so true aristocratic, this truly virtuous, such untold refined, this porcelain lady de Tourvel. Michelle Pfeiffer with amazing accuracy played awakening passion when her heroine, chaste and religious, happily married woman who seduces experienced the Vicomte de Valmont Seduces... on the dispute. And, perhaps, only Michelle Pfeiffer could play the death of Madame de Tourvel from a broken heart so that a modern audience believe her.
On the set of "Dangerous relations" between Michelle Pfeiffer and John Malkovich, who played the Vicomte de Valmont, had a passionate romance. They are not just portrayed lovers - they really loved and was so pent-up passion, while Michelle, wishing to remain loyal to Peter Horton, resisted his feelings. And then she gave up and romance with Malkovich became one of the most exciting in her life. And the short: after filming all of a sudden gone. They burned out... But for Michelle, it was a rewarding experience. She realized that Peter Horton peace wedge has not converged. She'll survive without him. And even be able to become happy. In the same year, Peter and Michelle divorced. But still remain good friends.
During the filming of "Batman returns" Michelle has experienced an affair with actor Michael Keaton: he was Batman, she is Catwoman, they shared an uneasy relationship...
Three years Michelle lived with actor Fisher Stevens: "He was a great guy, " recalls Michelle, " but I knew that we were unlikely to continue to live with him all my life. He was 29 years old, I'm 35. I wanted stability, which for me were home, children and, of course, He, my husband, my soul mate". But my soul mate all is not met.
After parting with Stevens, Michelle decided to create at least a semblance of a family and give birth to a child. Following the example of other Hollywood singles she wanted to choose the perfect dad for the baby... our clients include the new York sperm Bank" as one of the great musicians, athletes or Nobel laureates. But getting pregnant didn't work... Then Michelle decided to be carefully investigated: hormonal profile, tests for chlamydia, toxoplasmosis and other infections, antibody tests for compatibility with the sperm donor, the patency of the fallopian tubes, endless smears, scrapings, ultrasound studies of the uterine - hysterography and hysteroscopy... No pathologies doctors she did not find. Michelle killed vitamins, stuffed with hormones, amounted to a diet conducive to conception. Nothing helped.
"If I stop being in the movie business, become a gynecologist - this profession studied thoroughly, and the" jokes now Michelle Pfeiffer. She had so much to bear, while the doctors were looking for a reason for which the actress could not get pregnant... In the end, they said that Michelle barren. What children she will not. Never. Unless a miracle happens. And miracles, as we know, does not exist.
After recovering from the shock, Michelle adopted a tiny mulatto Claudia rose. Bought a house. And considered vital minimum program is executed.
"I always wanted to take a foster child when I lived alone, " says Michelle. And in that moment, when I decided to do it, it was like a revelation: what happiness is, I had a family! ". Michelle no longer felt lonely and unhappy.
And then, as if in reward for a good deed, fate brought her with producer David Kelly. They met just two weeks after the house Michelle appeared Claudia rose. David was Michelle truly native soul. They are perfect for each other. Both have a calm temperament. Both silencers: "Imagine, I first time in my life met a person who speaks less of me! " - enthusiastically said Michel mother immediately after meeting with David. And both are very fond of children.
"First, David fell in love with this black girl Claudia, and then at me, with a smile says Michel. In November 1993, the actress sent out to friends and family invitation to the christening of his daughter. And the day before the gala event, said: "I Have a surprise. There will be a wedding! "
13 November 1993 Michelle Pfeiffer is married to David Kelly. On the same day was baptized Claudia rose. David gave foster daughter his last name. And exactly nine months later, on August 5, 1994, Michel confounded the doctors with their verdict, and bore David a son, John Henry Kelly. Michelle believes that it was a sign: "So I had to wait for David".
Now she was sure that another father of the child just couldn't be... "Now I am in love with my husband is much stronger than at the moment when he proposed to me, " says Michelle. - I don't have such good relations. David is one of the best and most normal people I've ever met. He is not an actor. I love the actors, they have their own charm. But this is usually very heavy people with their demons in the soul. I adore my husband. When we are together we go to visit, I feel the happiest girl! "
While Michelle was able to combine family life and cinema. But art was always sacrificed to the needs of the home. In order not to part with his family, Michel rejected several tempting offers, refused the role in "basic instinct" and "Evita", because it would have a few months to spend with the crew, away from home. She took into consideration the bitter experience of marriage with Peter Horton, who has destroyed the permanent separation.
"The children could go with me, " explained Michelle. But that would mean that David will stay and one will be far from us. I don't think it's right towards him. I don't want to risk my happiness. Often unnoticed pinch myself to feel that I am awake, and not in a dream. And I appreciate that.
Finally, Michel tired to balance work and home, and she made a choice in favor of the family. In addition, she believed that grows old and loses its appeal... She was like "time to go" as Greta Garbo. Her last film was "White oleander": great drama of Peter Kosminsky on the bestseller Janet Fitch. Michelle Pfeiffer played the poet the Ingrid Magnussen: ruthless, cunning and genius. It is out of jealousy killed his lover and forced to serve a prison sentence... But also jealously Ingrid applies to his daughter Astrid. One cannot say that Ingrid was a loving mother. But she is the owner and can't afford to Astrid has found another family and loved someone else. The role of Ingrid - complex, ambiguous, multi - became the crown in the career of Michelle. Actress considered "White oleander" the perfect final touch... And since then had only appeared in theatrical productions, and even voiced cartoons.
But now, five years later, she returned. Cinema - this drug for an actor. And Michelle Pfeiffer missed him all this time, while she played in the theater of Shakespeare's heroines. By the way, her most notable stage role was the fairy Titania from the Comedy "a Midsummer night's Dream": a magical, supernatural beautiful creature. And still Michelle believes that delights before her beauty - it's some kind of mass delusion and nothing more. Michelle Pfeiffer a very strange man... As, indeed, most creative people.
When it is already a star, was asked what role she wants, Michelle said about the role of a street tramp. And he explained: "In my life there were times when everything seemed vague and devoid of meaning. At such moments, I began to understand the thrust of some people to live freely under the open sky. And I wondered: "How would I like existence? ".
But returned to Michelle with the movie "Star dust" and the role of the regular fairies (or witches - who as you like): the beautiful, but treacherous Lamia. And she starred in the melodrama "I'll never be yours," and in the Comedy "hairspray". And continues to play with the greed of man, long deny myself the urgent.
Expert comments
Apparently, Michelle Pfeiffer suffered from psychogenic infertility, Western gynecologists often use another term - subfertility. It is a disease of a healthy and successful business woman with improper priorities: career in the first place, personal life second. This diagnosis when the survey does not show any pathology: both spouses are healthy and ready to conceive, and no children. The problem in the psychological attitude of the woman: this violation is subject possessed by fears and complexes of the patient. Additional factors high social ambitions, the continued reluctance to have a child. Freed from the task of extending the kind of sex begins to live its own life, in which the conception is just a mistake, an unfortunate "puncture".
In a society where at school the girl was concerned, so as not to get pregnant (and Michelle Pfeiffer to thirty years had been on hormonal contraceptives) inevitably occurs such a problem as psychological infertility. The woman who started in 14 years is the average age of starting sexual life in developed countries) to swallow the pill, over time, changes the biochemistry of the body - it changes your mind. "Contraceptive" installation time deeply rooted.
Today nobody doubts that mentality is seriously connected with physiology. Without the intervention of a therapist to overcome psychogenic infertility is extremely difficult, but the actress managed to do it the most! First, she dived into the care of a foster girl - and thereby tuned to motherhood, took off the indoor unit. Secondly, Michelle met his "soul mate". She transformed himself calmed down, stopped "inferiority complex" about alleged deficiencies. Because the woman is the vessel in which life itself is conceived. The child believes the mother is the best, and the woman should look at yourself with new eyes, love face and body, to feel the perfection to give the world a child. Pregnancy in thirty-five years, when fertility is declining, even in women with a diagnosis of "infertility" is really a miracle! But the example of Michelle Pfeiffer shows: all in the hands of women, the main thing is not to despair, not to lose hope.
