Bad career decisions/outcomes. SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BIGGER!!!!!!!


Lost the role of Catwoman in Batman Returns due to pregnancy.

Additionally had to drop out of Disclosure and for some strange reason FREAKY FRIDAY also.

She could have been a much bigger star than she is now. She is highly regarded, but still isn't a household name.

Just a reflection...

i know. i've never been a big fan of michelle pfeiffer. i think she has a beautiful face but is otherwise boring and to me a pretty sh*tty actress. you can tell she has no training. but annette bening? she would have been insane as catwoman. she's still attractive but back then, perfect figure (watch the grifters), great feline looking face (like a young julie newmar), and a tremendous actress. just terrific actress. she would have been 1000X better than pfeiffer. but she had to get pregnant.

The one time Warren Beatty had sex with a woman out of what the 1,000 of women he screwed and he got her knocked up

I love Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman (actually, I love her in general), however I would have loved to see Annette Bening take the part, I can really see her in the role. She would have played it a little more... psychotic, I think. Would have been excellent, and I would imagine better than Pfeiffer's already amazing Catwoman.

Bening would have been a superb Catwoman!
But she's always seemed like someone whose personal life means more to her than her career, and her choices reflect that.
