LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- Actress Michelle
Pfeiffer received the 2,345th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Monday, four
days before the release of her latest film "Stardust."
Pfeiffer, a California native who abandoned a
possible career as a court reporter to become a three-time Academy Award
nominee, is in three films this summer after not making a live-action film since
2002.
"There are so many people that go into the making of
an actor's career, and first and foremost I want to thank my mother, who isn't
here right now," Pfeiffer said at the ceremony. "But she forcefully preached to
me every day the importance of having a career."
In "Stardust" Pfeiffer plays a chillingly powerful
evil witch who hopes to use a fallen star to achieve eternal youth and beauty.
She can be currently seen in theaters as a racist TV station manager in New
Line's musical "Hairspray."
She also plays a mother who falls for a younger man
while her daughter falls in love for the first time in the upcoming comedy "I
Could Never Be Your Woman," which is set for release next month.
Born April 29, 1958, in Santa Ana, California,
Pfeiffer graduated from a local high school in 1976 and then briefly studied
court reporting at college before dropping out to pursue an acting career.
Her first high-profile role was as the wife of drug
baron Tony Montana in the 1983 Al Pacino crime drama "Scarface."
Pfeiffer received Academy Award nomination for best
actress three times for her roles in "Dangerous Liaisons," "The Fabulous Baker
Boys" and "Love Field," but won none of them. She actually won a Golden Globe
Award as best actress in a drama for her role as a sexy singer in "The Fabulous
Baker Boys" in 1989.
