Dedee Pfeiffer

Dedee Pfeiffer

Talk about impressive blonde roots! As the younger sister of one of the most beautiful and recognizable blonds in the world, 26-year-old actress Dedee Pfeiffer has quite a lot to live up to. And she admits her last name has been both a blessing and a curse.

"It gets to be stressful for me because sometimes I'll get calls from people who are looking for a younger version of Michelle," says this bubbly, champagne blond.

This Pfeiffer, however, is clearly her own woman. She gets the opportunity to prove it this spring with the release of Propaganda Films' A Row of Crows, starring Steven Bauer and Mia Sara, and Drive, a black-and-white movie about two men stuck in a traffic jam.

Raised in Orange County, CA, Pfeiffer began studying with famed acting coach Peggy Fury at age 18. "I just want to be an actress that works," confesses Pfeiffer, who regularly escapes what she calls the "cheesiness" of the profession by getting away to the great outdoors with her boyfriend and their Rottweiler puppy.
