Michelle Monday

Let’s kick off Michelle’s birthday month of April with some beautiful shots of Ms. Pfeiffer, taken from my favorite of all her films, Up Close and Personal (1996).

April fools! Astute followers of this blog will probably recall that I’ve never really written about Up Close and Personal, and there are reasons for that. It’s one of my least favorites of Michelle’s movies—it could’ve been great but, alas, is not—so I don’t revisit it often (last time was maybe 2017 when I reran the entirety of Michelle’s filmography for fun). It rarely pops to mind when I’m thinking up new and exciting Michelle posts for the blog. So, for now, it’ll serve nicely as a very lame April Fools’ Day “Ha ha, gotcha” post. Someday I’ll write about why the movie is a mess, why it could’ve worked but didn’t, and all while noting that Michelle gave it her all and looks fantabulous in every frame of this train wreck. That’s not nothing, right??
