Michelle Pfeiffer faced sexual harassment in film industry

Michelle Pfeiffer is very well-known for her versatility, and she has grown to become known for portraying unglamorous and nuanced, and emotionally distant characters and also strong characters who have sex appeal.

Michelle Pfeiffer says she once had an “inappropriate incident” with a “high-powered” man from the film industry.

 The 61-year-old recalled the incident in an interview to The Sunday Times Magazine, without naming the person involved. She said that looking back on the experience makes her “cringe”, reports independent.co.uk. The #MeToo movement prompted her to re-evaluate her past, she said.

“First, I thought, ‘Well, I didn’t experience that’, but then as time went on I started going, ‘Well, actually, there was that one time’,” the actress said.

Explaining the “process” she went through, the star said she had denied the incident and blamed herself for it, having thoughts like “I shouldn’t have worn that dress” or “I should’ve known”.

“There were a number of situations that were not good. Like one incident — I am not going to share — but I look back and I cringe. I was really uncomfortable and it was inappropriate. I put it in a drawer. I was 20, and it was with a high-powered person in the industry,” she said.

The actress added that if the man in question was still alive, she would write to him. Pfeiffer’s comments come after a spate of similar allegations from stars, including Naomie Harris and Sarah Jessica Parker, who revealed that she had reported a “big movie star” for “inappropriate behaviour” on set when she was a young actor.

Michelle Pfeiffer is considered to be one of the world’s most talented actresses. She had started pursuing an acting career in the year, 1978. After she had accepted many small roles in a few TV series and movies, the actress’ very first leading role was in Grease 2 (1982), a musical movie which was the sequel to the 1978 movie. She was very frustrated with being a typecast, and the actress pursued a lot of more serious material.

Michelle Pfeiffer then received a lot of strong reviews for her breakout performance as Elvira Hancock in Scarface. Her role in Married to the Mob had earned Michelle Pfeiffer her a Golden Globe Award nominations.

Her roles in Dangerous Liaisons and The Fabulous Baker Boys had also earned her two Academy Award nominations, for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress.
