At a recent Hollywood handprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater in California, veteran actress Michelle Pfeiffer was honoured for her outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry. The 66-year-old star, known for her iconic roles in films such as “Grease 2” and “Batman Returns,” had her hand and footprints immortalised alongside the likes of other Hollywood legends. The ceremony, held during the TCM Classic Film Festival, was attended by Pfeiffer’s former co-stars Dakota and Elle Fanning, who shared this special moment with the honouree.
Dakota and Elle Fanning, who both made their big-screen debuts alongside Pfeiffer in the 2001 drama “I Am Sam,” expressed their admiration for the actress and the impact she has had on their careers. Elle, who played the younger version of Lucy in the film, has since gone on to collaborate with Pfeiffer again in projects like “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.” The sisters’ presence at the ceremony highlighted the bond and respect shared between generations of Hollywood talent.
Pfeiffer’s long-time partner, David E. Kelley, who is the showrunner for the upcoming series “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” joined her at the event. The series, which also stars Elle Fanning, is based on a novel from 2024 and promises to showcase the duo’s on-screen chemistry once again. Pfeiffer’s illustrious career spanning over five decades has seen her take on a diverse range of roles, from the seductive Catwoman to the nurturing Janet Van Dyne in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With three Academy Award nominations to her name, Pfeiffer has established herself as a versatile and talented actress in both film and television. Her recent portrayal of Betty Ford in Showtime’s “The First Lady” further solidified her reputation as a powerhouse performer. Pfeiffer’s ability to embody complex characters with depth and nuance has endeared her to audiences worldwide, making her a beloved figure in Hollywood.
Elle Fanning, who co-produced the upcoming series with Pfeiffer, continues to showcase her talents both in front of and behind the camera. Alongside Dakota, the Fanning sisters are part of a new generation of actors who are shaping the future of the industry. Their collaboration with Pfeiffer in “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” not only highlights their creative partnership but also underlines the importance of mentorship and camaraderie in the entertainment world.
As Pfeiffer’s hand and footprints join those of Hollywood legends before her, the ceremony serves as a testament to her enduring impact on the industry. Her dedication to her craft, coupled with her ability to bring characters to life with authenticity and emotion, has solidified her status as a timeless beauty in the world of cinema. The recognition bestowed upon her at the TCL Chinese Theater is a fitting tribute to a remarkable career that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the globe.
