Michelle Pfeiffer: What went wrong?

In the late 80s-early 90s (more specifically 1988-1993) she was arguably the most exciting actress around. Married to the Mob, Dangerous Liaisons, The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Russia House, Frankie & Johnny, Batman Returns, and The Age of Innocence. The quality of the films varied but this was an impressive run of roles. Maybe better than Streep at that time.

Then came Wolf (1994). Forgettable role/film but it was Jack Nicholson and Mike Nichols, so an understandable choice.

After that, everything changed. She appeared to lost any interest in auteurs or in taking any risks in general with her role choices. Dangerous Minds was a hit but it was middlebrow junk. Just like Up Close & Personal, One Fine Day (ok, this was a cute romcom and probably the best of a weak bunch), A Thousand Acres, The Deep End of the Ocean, The Story of Us, etc. Her sudden loss in ambition with her career is a little reminiscent of Streisand post-The Way We Were, though not as drastic.

What happened? Did kids shift her priorities and taste in scripts?

Would you consider her career a disappointment overall? When you look at, say, Charlize Theron or Margot Robbie (blonde beauties who made good), it's almost like they're what Pfeiffer should've been.
