Michelle Pfeiffer says Grease 2 was a “huge break”
For Michelle, Grease 2 wasn’t just another acting job. It was the movie that helped launch her career.
“For people of a certain generation, it’s one of their favorite movies, or one of their favorite films that I’ve made. I had so much fun on that. I got to dance, I got to sing. Yeah, it was a huge break for me,” Michelle said.
The film marked Michelle’s first starring role
The actress starred as Stephanie Zinone in the sequel, which marked her first leading role in a major studio film. At the time, Michelle was largely unknown and still trying to establish herself in Hollywood.
Following the film, Michelle went on to build a successful career, starring in popular movies like Scarface, The Witches of Eastwick, Tequila Sunrise, and Batman Returns.
