The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Michelle Pfeiffer’s performance as the sultry singing escort Susie Diamond also ranks among my all time favorites. This site was named for an obscure reference to a club in the film, so it’s only fitting Susie and the Baker Brothers … Continue reading Michelle Monday: Susie’s 35th
