Career
Pfeiffer began her acting career at the age of 21 with a 1985 appearance on Simon & Simon, an American detective television series starring Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker. That same year, Pfeiffer played a hooker in Into the Night, a 1985 American comedy-thriller film directed by John Landis, starring Jeff Goldblum and Pfeiffer's sister Michelle. Pfeiffer's first nude role came in a 1989 shower scene for the supernatural horror film The Horror Show, and she later would go on to pose nude for Playboy magazine's February 2002 edition.
Along with acting on stage, Pfeiffer starred in many films and on TV. One of her best-known TV roles is on Cybill Shepherd's television series Cybill, as her daughter, "Rachel Blanders," from 1995–1997. She also starred in the TV series For Your Love from 1998 to 2002. She starred with Susanna Hoffs in the 1987 film The Allnighter and has made guest appearances on the TV shows Simon & Simon, Ellen, Seinfeld, Friends, Dream On, CSI: NY and The Dead Zone among others.
In an interview on the 2011 UK DVD & Blu-ray release of Vamp, Pfeiffer states she has shelved her acting career of twenty-five years in favour of pursuing a new career in the field of forensic psychology and is now at college, studying for a masters degree.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
