INGRID MAGNUSSEN

Could be used against a woman to see herself too beautiful? ... Never!.... This is the resonant shout of all ladys anywhere in the world, except... the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer. Because according to Michelle considering her work, she is almost sure she won't win any Oscar by her performance in White Oleander in spite of her chilling good work as the poison mother who is condemned to prison during long by murder. "I don't think it, I have to say it sincerely", the three times nominated actress has said when she was asked for the chance to get the little golden statue at home by her work in the film. "I believe that the people are going to think that my look is too pretty to be in prison!". Whoever, who had read the Janet Finch's book on which is based the film, will know that Michelle Pfeiffer is perfect to playing the role just like the character who appears in the book's pages (althought it have had any changes, for example, the character is a poet in the book and a painter/artist in the movie). But for those who only just will see the movie without having read the book: their worry could be groundless for watching a condemned woman too good-looking. "It was happened, and it is the reason so I'm going to receive a lot publicity. Her beauty in prison is The book refers her beauty in prison every moment, and her image is so exactly. I think that it won't have been any problem for the people who had read the book, but there aren't references in the film and it could look like an error. I take care of it". Pfeiffer admits sincerely, in spite of she is more beautiful today than she is in the film. The actress, who is 44 and she has got two children, insists on her life is different substancely with regard to her role in the film. "That I want to say is I can appear in many differents forms and I see meself so in White Oleander because she is described so in the book. Playing the role of a woman whose beauty is said every time was very scaried. Do you understand me?. In fact, nobody shows off so. Is is true... you know it, a person don't get up so!. In fact, you could find with a Michelle Pfeiffer who looks a little slovenly in the west side Los Angeles someday"... No, it is not true!. "You should see how I am looked by people when I come in to Fisher Lumber, then I arrive even the waste pots and I allow that my children can take the crumbs... people turns round.... they look at me and exclaim, "Strange!!" I soak up sweat and my upper lip is got dirty of painting!" she said laughing and taking it as a joke. Well, so what?. "I say! I'm aware of any paparazzi could appear when I go out of my house any time; it is the wort part, but you know, I always wear a cap, I'm sure I can hide my face. I'm very good old doing it!"

Now, lift up your hand If you think really that Michelle Pfeiffer looks nasty when she goes to supermarket. Ok, ok, of course. It is very ironical what she thought that the Academy members didn't think that she is splendid even though she is in prison... Isn't it true?
