Michelle Pfeiffer says her career has been hampered by her beauty.The blonde actress says her good looks have been a curse because she has to work harder to make people believe she can act.Michelle told Allure magazine: "It was harder for me to get a good part. When I went to an audition I had to be better because I was beautiful."The 48-year-old, who played a plain waitress in 'Frankie and Johnny' alongside Al Pacino, says she was furious when her portrayal was slammed. Michelle insists critics didn't believe her performance because she was too beautiful for the role.The 'What Lies Beneath' actress said: "That was one of the biggest criticisms, that you couldn't believe me in the part. And my argument is always, 'You know everyone can be damaged. And pretty people can be just as damaged as ugly people or fat people.' " (C) BANG Media International
