Michelle Pfeiffer
From early appearances on CHiPS and Fantasy Island, Michelle Pfeiffer evolved into a beauty who packed everything from malice to innocence with her chiselled features.
It might hurt, but it hurt so good.
That edge helped her land her first big role as Elvira Hancock in Scarface. She matched Pacino’s energy and grandstanding and earned a succession of roles that packed more hotness into a few years than most have in a lifetime. Yowzer!
Pfeiffer’s sexiness was always her own and no one else’s. But we are her audience, we demand judgement!
Scarface (1983)

The Witches of Eastwick (1987)

Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

Tequila Sunrise (1988)

The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)

Batman Returns (1992)

Dangerous Minds (1995)

I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007)

Thanks to Derek K Miller for the Michelle Pfeiffer suggestion. Suppose he’s a Pfan.
Have a suggestion?
Suggest the works to be considered and send us some images and you’ll put a heater on the hotness. (Read: speed it up.)

She was definitely top of my list in the ’80s. But you forgot “Into the Night” (1985). And nothing between 1985 and 2007? “What Lies Beneath?” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream?”
Into the Night received consideration but was ruled out as not well enough known compared to her other roles.
As for the gap between (what I think you mean to be) 1995 and 2007, she didn’t have many movies and those that did launch didn’t offer much hotness. White Oleander did get some consideration, but not much.
How could you forget the hotness that was her in Grease 2? I think she stopped aging after that…
I think I saw Grease 2 referred to as the worst movie ever made. Don’t remember if that was before or after Ishtar.
