Forgotten Credits: Walk Of Fame Inductee Michelle Pfeiffer Blanks On Her ‘Simpsons’ Past

It was Michelle Pfeiffer’s turn today to be immortalised on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame, ensuring that generations can pilgrimage to the urine-glazed sidewalk altar and pay homage to the enduring star who once bravely faced Coolio down in a school room music video showdown. But as the actress was besieged by fans eager to have their Pfeiffer memorabilia autographed, one item amidst the flurry of Scarface posters and Grease 2 soundtracks left her with a temporary case of career amnesia. From The WOW Report:

A fan waved a Simpsons DVD at Michelle Pfeiffer today after her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony. “The Simpsons?” said Pfeiffer.

“Why would I sign that?” “You were in it,” said the fan. “Season Five.” “I was?”

In fact, Pfeiffer did manage to squeeze in a guest-starring back in 1993, playing a beautiful Springfield nuclear power plant employee who poses a threat to the Simpsons’ marriage in an episode entitled “The Last Temptation of Homer.” With a career as prolific as Pfeiffer’s, however, we can understand how easy it might be to overlook a nearly decade-and-a-half old stint in a Fox lot voiceover booth. We’d thus discourage pranksters and Simpsons purists from giving the actress a hard time for this one oversight, perhaps by excitedly approaching the actress with a DVD copy of the first and only season of Father of the Pride, and insisting up and down that she indeed made a cameo appearance in NBC’s failed CGI Siegfried & Roy sitcom.
