Famed photographer Herb Ritts (1952–2002) took some of the most iconic pictures of Michelle Pfeiffer. The Ritts session I’m sharing today comes from Interview magazine, August 1988. It was The Year of Pfeiffer in ‘88, at least in terms of her ascension into the cinematic stratosphere, thanks to meaty roles in three great films: Married … Continue reading Michelle Monday

Bombshells: Chili Williams, the Polka-Dot Girl
A popular pinup girl in her day, the Minneapolis-born Chili Williams would still likely be categorized as a minor bombshell. Her film career lasted less than a decade—which certainly wasn’t uncommon for minor bombshells of the 1940s and 1950s—but she earned everlasting fame as “The Polka-Dot Girl” after a photo of her sporting a polka-dotted … Continue reading Bombshells: Chili Williams, the Polka-Dot Girl

The following images come from a September, 2007 Esquire interview with La Pfeiffer. The interview was conducted by director Matthew Vaughn, with whom Michelle had just made the exquisite romantic-comedy-fantasy film Stardust.
