 Pfeiffer always discards old scripts in which she has written extensive notes about her characters, nor does she retain film reviews, magazine clippings or covers about her work or performances.Pfeiffer has long been dubbed one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood, a designation "The Daily Telegraph" Mick Brown considers both "a defining characteristic in her acting career" and "curse".Pfeiffer initially struggled to convince directors to take her seriously as an actress because they doubted she was more than simply an attractive face.
