VAMP
DEDEE PFEIFFER
BIOGRAPHY

Bubbly, vivacious Amaretto has a secret or two in "Vamp," but she's not
telling. She's the dizzy blonde waitress at the After Dark Club who keeps
insisting she knows Keith, the character played by Chris Makepeace, but he has
no recollection of her; he can barely figure out if she's the only "unbitten"
employee on the Club's premises.

"Out of all the roles I've done," says Dedee Pfeiffer, the actress who
portrays Amaretto, "she is the closest to me. Of course, there are differences,
but there's many more similarities: she's funny, she takes things day-by-day,
she's sensitive and when she's into something, she's really into it."
"Vamp" is Pfeiffer's first starring role in a feature film. "I learned
a lot on this," she says. "I learned more about the production end of filmmaking.
What really made this film special was that everyone cared so much about what
they were doing. The crew was so passionately involved that it made me become
more involved in the whole process. It was a marvelous education for me. I
loved it because if no one really cared about what they were doing, it would
have been torturous. It was such a great experience."

Pfeiffer, the younger sister of actress Michelle Pfeiffer, has appeared in
the television movies "The Midnight Hour," "Tough Love" and has done episodic
work in such shows as "Hotel" and "Simon and Simon." "Into the Night," "Dangerously
Close" and "Choice Kill" are her feature credits.

"I love acting because it's not stagnant," she says. "There's always
something challenging about each role." Since her early teens, Pfeiffer has
held an eclectic assortment of jobs, including being a dancer in the Disneyland
parade, a truck driver and working in a hair cutting salon and in sales. "I
get bored easily," she says. "That's the reason I've had so many jobs. I need
to be mentally stimulated and that's why acting is so perfect for me. There's
never a dull moment. It's always exciting because there's always a new character
or scene to explore. I'm also becoming more aware of myself. It's a great
challenge, being an actress, and I've never had a boring day since live become
one."

Born and raised in Huntington Beach in southern California, Pfeiffer doubled
her class schedule during her junior year of high school to graduate early. She
wanted to "experience the real world." She's currently back in school studying
Latin.

"I'm kind of like a human sponge. Stuff that really interests and excites
me I pick up like that," she says with a snap of her finger. "But I demand
feedback. Really, that's why acting's so great. You can experience so much on 
so many different levels.

"Yet there is one drawback to being actress," she says. "I find the toughest
part about acting is how to spend your free time. When I'm not on a project,
I miss waking up at 5:00 a.m. and working for 18 hours."
