Michelle
Pfeiffer
Michelle
Pfeiffer was born in Santa Ana, CA to Dick and Donna
Pfeiffer. She has an older brother and two younger sisters - Dedee,
an actress currently playing Cybill Shepard's eldest daughter on
"Cybill" and Lori, who dabbled in acting and modeling
but decided against making it her life's work. She graduated from
Fountain Valley High School in 1976, and attended one year at the
Golden West College, where she studied to become a court reporter.
But it was while
working as a supermarket checker at Vons, a large Southern California
grocery chain, that she realized her true calling. She was married
to actor/director Peter Horton ("Gary" of "Thirtysomething")
in 1981. They were later divorced, and she then had a three year
relationship with actor Fisher Stevens. When that didn't work out,
Michelle Pfeiffer decided she didn't want to wait
any longer before having her own family, and in March of 1993, she
adopted a baby girl, Claudia Rose. On November 13th of the same
year, she married lawyer-turned-writer/producer David E Kelley (creator
of "Picket Fences and "Chicago Hope"). On August
5, 1994 their son, John Henry was born.
