Michelle Pfieffer and her husband made a rare public appearance on April 25, as Michelle was honored by Turner Classic Movies with a Hand and Footprint Ceremony.
Michelle and David E. Kelley, the famous television writer and film producer, have been married since 1993, and David was there to cheer on Michelle as she placed her hands and feet in the clay at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

The honor comes after five decades of acclaimed work from the 66-year-old, whose break out role was in 1982’s Grease 2. She also starred in Scarface with Al Pacino and in 1989 earned her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Dangerous Liaisons.

Between those two films Michelle starred in the iconic role of Selina Kyle/Catwoman in 1992's Batman Returns, and in recent years joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Janet Van Dyne in 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp alongside Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas.

That TV series will be the first time the pair have worked together; in 2022, Michelle admitted that she had never worked with her husband because they feared it would be "too risky" for their marriage.
"Nobody writes, honestly, better for women than he does," she said of her husband on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
"It's unbelievable. And yet, I value our relationship more than a good part, and I just think it’s too risky."
David and Michelle met in January 1993 when they were set up on a blind date.
They married on November 13, 1993, and on the same day they christened the baby girl Michelle had already been in the process of adopting, Claudia. In August 1994, they welcomed a son, John Henry.
