Picture Trivia
Many Hollywood actresses were
considered to play the role of Catwoman in the film Batman Returns (1992) but Michelle Pfeiffer was fortunate to be chosen.
Among them were Lena Olin and Madonna. Sean Young and Susan Sarandon very much
like to portray Catwoman. The role was also offered to Demi Moore and Nicole
Kidman but they both declined. Annette Bening was first chosen for the role but
she was pregnant at the time and so she was replaced by Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer was paid three million dollars
in contrast to the two million dollars offered to Bening.
In the six months of filming Batman Returns, 60 Catwoman costumes
were used by Pfeiffer each of which cost 1,000 dollars.
There
is one thing that Pfeiffer did in the film that perhaps none of the other contending
actresses can or would consent to do – that is put a live bird inside her
mouth.
