Michelle Pfeiffer, a Hollywood legend with a career spanning 50 movies since 1980, had her breakout role in the 1983 film \u201cScarface.\u201d However, just before that milestone, she starred in a musical \u2013 one of only two in her filmography. The musical in question is \u201cGrease 2,\u201d a film that, in recent years, has gained recognition among those with discerning taste as the superior of the two \u201cGrease\u201d movies.<\/p>\n
Pfeiffer, who embraced her starring role as Stephanie Zinone in \u201cGrease 2,\u201d often shares throwback photos from the musical rom-com on her Instagram. Recently, she took to Instagram again to address inaccuracies in quotes attributed to her in an article. The article misspelled her name as \u201cMichelle Pheiffer\u201d and claimed she took the role in \u201cGrease 2\u201d because she was young and didn\u2019t know better. It also quoted her as expressing hatred for the film. Pfeiffer, in response, clarified in her Stories, \u201cThis project is and has always been so special to me and my history \u2013 One should never trust a publication to get quotes right if they can\u2019t even bother to spell the person\u2019s name correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Released in 1982, \u201cGrease 2\u201d also features Maxwell Caulfield, Lorna Luft (Judy Garland\u2019s daughter), Pamela Adlon (later the creator of the acclaimed TV series \u201cBetter Things\u201d), and Christopher McDonald. The film also sees the return of Eve Arden, Dody Goodman, and Sid Caesar reprising their roles from the first \u201cGrease\u201d movie. It introduces Tab Hunter, a golden age of Hollywood actor, who performs the sex education song \u201cReproduction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aside from \u201cGrease 2,\u201d Pfeiffer\u2019s only other musical movie appearance is in the 2007 version of \u201cHairspray.\u201d In this film, she co-stars with Nikki Blonsky, John Travolta, Zac Efron, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah, and James Marsden. Given the quality of her performances in these musicals, fans might hope to see Pfeiffer in more musicals in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
