Michelle Pfeiffer on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (1980)

[@pam0626]

She’s so lovely. And intelligent. She wasn’t trying to be overly-impressive; she was just being her natural self.

[@amarawinchester963]

She is one of my favorite actresses! She is kind and beautiful! Just love her

Please give your heart to Jesus before it is too late 🙏🙏 I believe Hollywood is a very evil place and they do some crazy satanic things behind closed doors. God bless you 🙏

40 years ago!!! Unbelievable. And Michelle still beautiful at every age. :) So funny to see her before Grease 2, before Scarface and before the world recognized her great acting talent

[@JH-qy8no]

Yeah, it's like she gets more attractive the older she gets. It's supposed to be the other way round.

[@FCignelli]

She's always been such a beauty.

she is much more attractive than today's top victoria's secret models

Despite Behati Prinsloo who looks like her (In fact her IG Profile Pic looks is Catwoman played by her)

Not true. Taylor Hill and Doutzen Kroes look better

I find this interesting. Her looks, persona , and voice changed a great deal over the next decade. IMO she got prettier, more private/poised, and her voice got deeper. She is very bubbly here... I didn't know she was like that. Love that wink around 2:35

Whenever I stumble on a Johnny Carson interview He is always hella classy and Got that composure like He ain't doing all the physical comedy, Just there to have a conversation and see where it goes....... His interviews with Don Rickles is a master class for hosts who wanna deal with comics.

[@christopherholbrook8270]

I always enjoy watching Michelle in the Movies. Very smart and talented. Have the biggest crush on her since i was 12. Fun to see her again when she was early in her career.

She was too young vs the rest of the cast at that moment. Or maybe the producers were just dumb.

@Flenif2247 Cheryl Ladd was Alan Ladd's daughter.

[@evanwolf6618]

@Flenif2247 o.k. I was mistaken. I was told that many years ago . Thank you for correcting me . However , referring to Cheryl Ladd as a 'no name' is incorrect. LADD . That's a name . A big name . Nepotism can go pretty far , especially in Hollywood.

I’ve never seen Johnny so unabashedly smitten, and who can blame him? How could you remain unflappable sitting two feet from her? I’d make an utter, stuttering, obvious fool of myself. That sense of poise and humor and that wink on top of her looks would already destroy me, but then she’d flash that smile, and I’d be done for.

TF ? There isn't a single sexism going on, That was a compliment of how beautiful she was 'Won't get enough of the cheering'.

Shelly Winters was as bore, a pain and hack. Please review Oliver Reed's interview with Carson despite of Winters.. A woman of very low taste.

[@Wolfinger1935]

Stunningly beautiful and over the years developed into one of the finest actresses in Hollywood. But it was her looks that got her in the door. Thousands of actors study their craft for years, pound the pavement trying to get an agent, go to hundreds of casting calls (cattle calls)... but they don't have the looks of Michelle or Brad Pitt. So most of them struggle in obscurity... most give up their dream. Anyone who says Good Looks don't give you an advantage in life is fooling themselves. And not just in the movie business. Yes there are exceptions... yes talent will keep you alive in "the Biz".. but getting that first break... there is nothing like being beautiful or having a relative in the business.

[@davsny5]
