Pfeiffer: 'I was a fat tomboy'
Michelle Pfeiffer suffered cruel taunts from teachers and schoolmates as a kid - because she was a fat tomboy.
The star, who is now famed for her good looks and svelte figure, was desperate to emulate her small feminine friends - but had her plans scuppered by her mother's insistence on boyish home-haircuts.
She says: "I was a real tomboy. My teacher used to write on my report card: 'Michelle is one of the biggest girls in class.'
"All I wanted to be was to be one of the petite little girls but my mother always cut my hair in a pixie cut…there was nothing feminine about me."
