Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman Is Legendary, And I Love Hearing Danny DeVito's Candid Thoughts About Working With And 'Lusting After' Her In Batman Returns
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There will always be debates over who the best live-action Batman was on the big screen, but, with apologies to Anne Hathaway and Zoë Kravitz, I'm not sure there's any real argument over who the best on-screen Catwoman has been. It has to have been Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns. Pfeiffer's Catwoman was absolutely iconic, though her wearing a skintight body suit may have had a lot to do with that. One person who clearly loved Pfeiffer in Batman Returns was her co-star Danny DeVito. In the new Actors on Actors from Variety, DeVito talks with modern Penguin Colin Farrell, and he admits that he would go the extra mile if he knew he was sharing a scene with the actress. DeVito said… I had Michelle Pfeiffer. I'm not comparing anything, but I'm just saying, she was a goddess. If I knew she was going to be in a scene that day. . . . I got all flushed. Put extra makeup on — 'Give me another pound of makeup.' It was very difficult. Michelle Pfeiffer was only brought in to play Selena Kyle in Batman Returns after Annette Bening became pregnant and couldn't play the role. Pfeffer went on to create the version of Catwoman that all others would be compared to. It is almost certainly one of the sexiest performances in any comic book movie. DeVito says he loved working with the iconic actress, and can't help but mention the sex appeal element, saying… Just so wonderful. And I lusted after her. To be clear, DeVito isn't talking about himself lusting after Michelle Pfeiffer here. He's pointing out that lusting after Catwoman was part of his character, Oswald Cobblepot. Having said that, it doesn't sound like the actor minded much. When asked by Colin Farrell how the actress might have felt about all this, DeVito thinks Michelle Pfeiffer enjoyed it all. He added... I kind of feel like she liked it. She liked Oswald. To be fair, everybody is lusting after Catwoman in Batman Returns, it's very much intentional, as Selina Kyle uses her sex appeal to her advantage throughout the film. It's a significant part of the movie, and also a significant part of the reason that many parents, and corporate sponsors, were upset with Batman Returns. It was seen as too mature regarding both sex and violence for a Batman movie, and led to the major realignment of tone that we would see under Joel Schumacher with Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Danny DeVito clearly loved making Batman Returns, and the rest of us still love watching it. It's one of the best, if not the best, big-screen Batman adventures to date. That's not entirely because Michelle Pfeiffer is so unforgettable, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

Desperate Housewives actor Valerie Mahaffey dies after cancer battle, publicist says
Valerie Mahaffey, the American actor best known for her roles in Desperate Housewives and Young Sheldon, has died aged 71. The Emmy award winner died in Los Angeles after being diagnosed with cancer, her publicist said in a statement on Saturday. "I have lost the love of my life, and America has lost one of its most endearing actresses. She will be missed," her husband, actor Joseph Kell, said in a statement. Her daughter Alice Richards paid tribute to her mother on social media, saying: "I'll look for you in all the fun moments of life. That's where I know you'll be." Her five-decade career included stage, film and television work ranging from Shakespeare to the hit 1990s series Northern Exposure and Seinfeld. Mahaffey won two Emmy awards over her career, one for her portrayal of hypochondriac Eve on Northern Exposure, and the other for her role on soap opera The Doctors. She also appeared in the movie Sully with Tom Hanks, directed by Clint Eastwood, and played Madame Reynard in French Exit with Michelle Pfeiffer. "One of our brightest stars was stolen from us yesterday. Such a remarkable talent and human. You will be missed," Pfeiffer posted on social media.
