1 Michelle Pfeiffer - The Fabulous Baker Boys

What a travesty that she didn't win it for this role. She was exquisite and so talented. She was believable, great voice and how sexy and gorgeous was she during her unforgettable rendition of, "Making Whoopie! "

Michelle acted and sang. By the way, her voice is really great

The most talented of them all!
