Most recently, a film entitled "Murder on the Orient Express" was released. One of the main roles in this film was played by Hollywood star Michelle Pfeiffer, 59, In order to find out more about the detective tape, and also talk about the profession of the actress, Michel was invited to the studio of the magazine HELLO! for the interview.
About a 4-year break in the profession
The last 5 years Michelle did not act in films, did not read the script and did not communicate with her agent, who constantly offered her new roles. This was necessary so that Michele could devote herself to her teenage children. But time goes by, and the son and daughter went to college, leaving their parents' home. This fact allowed Pfeiffer again to return to the profession, and not just so, and having acted in such sensational paintings as "Mom!" And "Murder on the Orient Express." Here's what words Michelle recalls his return to the cinema:
"I've always liked my profession and I never planned to stop being an actress. It turned out by itself, when the children began to grow up. Many mothers believe that parents should be close to young children, but I am sure that this is equally important in adolescence. That's why I temporarily stopped filming, but always wanted to come back as soon as possible. You know, somewhere 2 years ago my son and daughter surprised me a lot. Somehow they told me that it's time for me to return to the set. At first I did not understand anything, however, after a little reflection, I realized that children just missed the atmosphere, behind the fast food that can be found on the tables during breaks from filming. Then I was very surprised and touched, but I still stayed with the guys, until they went to college. "
About the desire to play only in certain films
Not all fans of Michelle know that the actress is very picky about all the proposals that come to her. Initially, in such cultic tapes as "Basic Instinct" and "Pretty Woman" Pfeiffer was to be removed, but after reading the script she flatly refused. Here's how the actress explains her act:
"I have certain principles and rules. I do not want to carry dubious values to the masses. Maybe it's very old-fashioned, but I am what I am. For some reason, many believe that after I left the screens of the films "Basic Instinct" and "Pretty Woman" I bit my elbows, because the pictures turned out to be truly amazing, but it's not so. It's just not my tapes.But to appear in the film "Scarface" with Al Pacino, I caught fire right after I read the script. I was sure that this tape would make me famous. Despite all my desire, Al Pacino refused to see me as his lover. Why? I still do not know myself. I knew that testing is the only chance to convince him that I can play this role perfectly. I have become so much into the image of the beloved protagonist that during the trial I cut Al Pacino's face with a knife. Despite this annoying incident, he agreed to play with me in this film. "
About work in "Murder on the Orient Express"
It turns out that Pfeiffer is one of those actresses who loves acting in action-packed and detective films. That's why she accepted without hesitation an offer to play in the movie "Murder on the Orient Express." Here are some words Michelle remembers his work in this project:
"In fact, I am a terrible homebody. In addition, I hate to leave far from home. Perhaps this is rather strange for the profession of an actress, but I am such. However, if I agree to a certain role, then I do my job 100%. In order to film in "Murder on the Orient Express" I had to get up at 4 am. After that, I drove quite far into the shooting pavilion, where I was preparing to appear on the set. In addition to makeup, hairstyles and vestments in the costume of her heroine, I had to be alone with myself. As a rule, this period was 2 hours, but it was absolutely necessary for me. Many of the crew asked me a question about why I'm coming so early, because you can soak up your time in bed, but I work so hard, I'm so tuned for shooting.As for the decision to work on "Murder on the Orient Express," I always wanted to play in a cult detective. Who does not like these stories? I think that there are very few such people. I am not one of them. Just imagine, the limited enclosed space in which people are and each of them can be a killer. The suspicion falls literally on everyone, and the denouement turns out to be so unexpected that after a long time you remember this film. It's amazing!".

About self-doubt due to lack of education
And at the end of her interview, Michel decided to tell about her fear when she undertakes to work in a new project:
"Frankly, the 5-year break was reflected not only in my professional experience, but also in my mental state. When I accepted the offer to star in "Murder on the Orient Express," I was haunted by fear. It seemed to me that I would be an outcast on the set and I would certainly be fired for unprofessionalism. Perhaps it's just a complex because of a lack of special education, because I did not learn acting skills anywhere. Despite all this, shooting always goes well. Directors are happy with me, but for me this is very important. "
