Michelle Marie Pfeiffer (/ˈfaɪfər/ FY-fər; born April 29, 1958) is an American actress. One of Hollywood's most bankable stars during the 1980s and 1990s, her performances have earned her numerous accolades including a Golden Globe Award and a British Academy Film Award, as well as nominations for three Academy Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award. 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). Her roles in Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) garnered her two consecutive Academy Award nominations, for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, respectively, and she won a Golden Globe Award for the latter. Cemented as one of the highest-paid actresses of the 1990s, Pfeiffer starred in The Russia House (1990) and Frankie and Johnny (1991). In 1992, she played Catwoman in Batman Returns and received her third Academy Award nomination for Love Field, which she followed up with performances in The Age of Innocence (1993) and Wolf (1994). She also produced several of her own features through her company, Via Rosa Productions, including Dangerous Minds (1995). Reducing her workload to prioritise her family, Pfeiffer acted sporadically throughout the 2000s, starring in What Lies Beneath (2000), White Oleander (2002), Hairspray, and Stardust (both 2007). Following another hiatus, Pfeiffer returned to prominence in 2017 with performances in Where Is Kyra?, Mother!, and Murder on the Orient Express, and received her first Primetime Emmy Award nomination for playing Ruth Madoff in The Wizard of Lies. In 2020, she received her eighth Golden Globe Award nomination for French Exit. Pfeiffer has played Janet van Dyne in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2018, beginning with Ant-Man and the Wasp.

The Rhinegold (“Das Rheingold”) is the first of this series of four non-musical movies based on the epic four-opera cycle Der Ring Des Nibelungen by 19th-century German composer Richard Wagner (who based these four operas loosely on characters from ancient Germanic heroic legend, namely Norse legendary sagas and the Nibelungenlied). The Rhinegold concerns Alberich, a Nibelung dwarf, who steals a lump of magic gold from the three Rhinenmaidens, after renouncing love, and uses it to forge a magic ring that would give its wearer the power to rule the world. However, Wotan, the king of the gods, captures Alberich and forces him to give up the ring, a magic helmet called the Tarnhelm, and a hoard of gold. Upon being released, Alberich places a terrible curse on the ring: until it returns to Alberich, it will bring anguish and death to those who possess it, and everyone else will be consumed by envy. Wotan then intends to use the ring to pay two giants named Fasolt and Fafner in return for building a new castle for the gods, but is tempted to keep it for himself. However, Erda, the goddess of the Earth, wisdom, and fate, warns him to give up the ring and avoid its curse. So he gives the ring (along with the Tarnhelm and Alberich’s gold) to the giants. Fafner kills Fasolt and then leaves with the ring and the rest of Alberich’s treasure. Soon after, the gods enter their new castle, which Wotan names Valhalla, unaware of the catastrophes that the ring will bring upon the world.
