Celebrity Obsession: Michelle Pfeiffer

After finally watching the film Stardust on Youtube of all places I can die a fulfilled life. The film does and should always live up to its hype as it was brilliant and the character I liked most of all was the main witch Lamia played by if I do say so myself the stunning Michelle Pfeiffer, she's 51 years old and I can safely say that she does not look that age at all, about 29/30 in my opinion. well when she was young anyway not when she was in old witch mode.

Young Lamia!

Old Lamia, Creepy!

I have always thought the villains were more interesting than the heroes and my ideology continues here as well. The only complaint is that she didn't kill the prince in the inn in a more satisfying way (in a more witchy way that is, rather than gory/unpleasant, not a fan of splatter at all or horror for that matter but anyway). Despite the fact that vampires have always been my most loved form of monster, from the one Charmed episode and many Buffy ones, the way they portrayed the witches was great and I just loved the magic effects especially with the voodoo doll and the fighting dead body of Septimus was impressive and slightly ridiculous at the same time.

What does Michelle have to say about life?

About being afraid:

“I'm afraid to be alone, I'm afraid not to be alone. I'm afraid of what I am, what I'm not, what I might become, what I might never become. I don't want to stay at my job for the rest of my life, but I'm afraid to leave. And I'm just tired, you know? I'm just so tired of being afraid.”

About being optimistic:

“Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bight side rather than the dark side all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how lucky I am.”

About Smokers:

“I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.”

About Adjusting to Fame:

“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.”


About Being Prepared:

“I like being prepared. When things are going on and I have to learn my lines at the last minute, I'm never quite secure enough to allow it to be spontaneous. So the more prepared I am, the more I'm able to kind of let it go . . .”

Apart from Stardust I don't think I recognize Michelle from any other films but I will look out for her in the future.
