Pfeiffer began her acting career with minor television and film appearances and secured her first lead role in Grease 2 (1982). Her breakthrough role as Elvira Hancock in Scarface (1983) propelled her into mainstream success, which continued with performances in The Witches of Eastwick (1987) and Tequila Sunrise (1988). Pfeiffer received her first of six consecutive Golden Globe Award nominations for Married to the Mob (1988).

Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll is a psychological thriller inspired by the real-life crimes of Ted Bundy. The novel follows Pamela Schumacher, the president of a Florida sorority, whose life is shattered when a serial killer attacks her house, brutally murdering two of her sisters. In the aftermath, Pamela becomes determined to seek justice and expose the failures of law enforcement, who often underestimate women’s intelligence and resilience. Parallel to Pamela’s story, the novel also follows Tina, a woman in the Pacific Northwest whose best friend disappeared under similar circumstances. As their paths intersect, they unravel the horrifying truth behind the charming but monstrous man responsible. Through its gripping narrative, Bright Young Women critiques the way society romanticizes killers while sidelining the stories of the women they destroy. It’s a powerful exploration of survivor strength, media bias, and systemic misogyny.
