Remembering Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2.
You may bow down.
And, most importantly, it carries vital moments of empowerment.

She is wounded but not broken.
Stephanie is self-assured and unafraid to express herself as well as what she desires out of life.
She is ambitious and determined to pursue a future beyond high school.
She challenges the status quo.
This number should have been exclusively corny.
Yet, Pfeiffer opens this number with an expression indicative of reflection.

She brings the cool to the otherwise campy.
Its not about Michael.
Initially, her eyes are focused on him until they dart away with no target.

She enters her vision where his presence is not significant.
Her eyes widen at the thought of her cool rider.
Her expression is indicative of excitement and anticipation.
Even when she looks back at Michael, its as if shes looking past him or through him.
Wait around for Mr. And who could forget the way she climbs that ladder slow and steady, shoulders rocking to the beat?
(Sexual awakening, anyone?)
Its dreams meet determination.
Her energy is contagious.
The man who dreams of her stares on with desire, but does she even know hes back there?
Does it even matter?
She created a cult-favorite character out of crumbs.
With an intoxicating performance nuanced and nimble she became the unstoppable Stephanie.
