    In an interview with Elle, the Batman Returns actress spoke about how her extended period of time at home has made her more comfortable in her own skin, without makeup or any other beauty procedures. 

    'I feel like we all, it just sounds so corny, but I'm sensing that we're all discovering that our natural beauty is enough in a way that I don't think we understood before,' she remarked.

    Pfeiffer did admit, however, that she would be grateful to undergo a few spa procedures, just to take the edge off of quarantine.

    'At the same time, what I wouldn't give for a facial. Or just a manicure and a pedicure. It's like I could use a little TLC, I think,' the actress said.

    The star has been married to celebrated TV producer and writer David E. Kelley since 1993. They share two children: daughter Claudia, 28, and son John, 26.
