A while ago I sort of retired the “Michelle Monday” posts because, well, every day is Michelle Pfeiffer’s day here at the Starfire Lounge. Even if she doesn’t show up in a post that day, her presence is always felt. Heck, this entire blog is built on my love for her movies, with special inspiration drawn from her iconic performance as the inimitable Susie Diamond in The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989).
So, while every day is Michelle’s day, I’m bringing back Michelle Monday this week just for fun, and to show off the absolutely stunning photo above. I’ve used it on the “About” page here since I launched the sight almost six years ago, but have never been able to track down the exact date or the photographer. It looks like late 1980s to me, but that’s just my best guess based on obsessively studying her various eras for four decades now. What I do know for a certified fact is that Michelle, with those piercing eyes, parted lips, and perfectly tousled hair, positively mesmerizing here. She’s just outrageously gorgeous. It’s one of my favorite photos of La Pfeiffer, which is why I’m sharing it here today to bring everybody a little joy on a Monday.
