Michelle Pfeiffer likes playing villain

Thursday, August 09, 2007
Washington (ANI): Actress Michelle Pfeiffer admits that she had a great time filming her role as a baddie in her new movies. The three-time Oscar nominated actress played the racist Velma Von Tussle in kitsch musical Hairspray, as well as an evil witch in upcoming movie Stardust. Pfeiffer admitted that the roles helped her get rid of her mean streak in a fictional setting.

"I had fun doing it. I guess I've used up all of my mean streak on the screen recently," Contactmusic quoted her, as telling Parade magazine. However, she also stressed that she has played far worse characters than Von Tussle or the witch. "But remember, I have played even worse people than Velma Von Tussle, the outrageous racist stage mother in Hairspray and this witch in Stardust. I've schemed, screamed and murdered as well as loved and sung," Pfeiffer added.
