She has made guest appearances on the tv shows Simon & Simon, Midnight
Caller, Dream On, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and The Dead Zone among
others.
Dedee Pfeiffer was married to Gregory Fein, but she is now married to
Santiago Gomez, with whom she has one child.
This pretty, perky actress' first break in films came on the set of "Into
the Night" (1985) while visiting older sister and film's star Michelle
Pfeiffer. Director John Landis noticed Pfeiffer and gave her the small role
of a hooker. Bits and supporting roles followed in a number of films, mostly
forgettable, until she got a small role in one of her sister's big hits, "Frankie
& Johnny" (1991). Pfeiffer then landed the lead opposite Miles O'Keeffe in "Shoot"
(1992), another bomb, and then a bit in the Michael Douglas' violent odyessy
through L.A. directed by Joel Schumacher, "Falling Down" (1993).
Pfeiffer has faired better on the small screen. She made her TV movie debut
in "Toughlove" (CBS, 1995), a well-received fact-based drama about parents
coping with rebellious teens. She had supporting roles in other TV movies,
made guest appearances on episodes of "Dream On" (HBO, 1990), "Midnight
Caller" (NBC, 1988), "Murder, She Wrote" (CBS, 1993) and "Seinfeld" (NBC,
1994) before being cast in the regular role of Rachel, Cybill Shepherd's
seemingly always pregnant oldest daughter in the comedy "Cybill" (CBS,
1995-97). Pfeiffer was cast as one of the leads in the midseason replacement
series "For Your Love" (NBC, 1998; The WB, 1998- ). |
