Chances are that the last movie you remember seeing Michelle Pfeiffer in was Stardust, or maybe it was as far back as Dangerous Minds. The point is... Michelle Pfeiffer hasn't made a memorable movie for a long time, and even when she's turned up in something the part has usually been kind of underwhelming.

Which is what makes her unexpected 2017 comeback all the more brilliant.

Pfeiffer, of course, was one of the biggest actresses of her era, having appeared in classics such as Scarface, The Witches of Eastwick, and even Hairspray. But Pfeiffer's career suffered when she decided to take some time off to spend with her family, which is generally regarded as a massive no-no when you happen to be a woman in Hollywood who is also approaching middle age (sad, but true).

No matter: Pfeiffer is staging a comeback to end all comebacks, what with roles in Darren Aronofsky's latest film, Mother!, where she will play a yet to be revealed role alongside Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. She'll also join Kenneth Branagh for the latest adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, which casts Pfeiffer in the role of Mrs. Caroline Hubbard, a suspect in the case.

Basically, you're going to be hearing the words "Michelle" and "Pfeiffer" way more times than you're used to as the rest of the year plays out.
