Kelley, creator of "Picket Fences" (1992), "Chicago Hope" (1994), "The Practice" (1997), and "Boston Public" (2000). On August 5, 1994 their son, John Henry was born.

Personal quotes from Michelle Pfeiffer
"I still think people will find out that I'm really not very talented. I'm really not very good. It's all just been a big sham."
(On playing her part of Claire Spencer in What Lies Beneath)" I thought about Drew Barrymore in the first Scream - I mean, ultimately that movie was more funny than scary, but the opening sequence was quite terrifying, and she protrayed terror in a way I'd never seen an actress do."
[On wearing the Catwoman costume for the first time]: "I thought to myself 'I can't move, I can't breathe, I can't think. I'm unhappy. I can't act'."
