Photo Credit: Splash News Danish model May Anderson looks like a thinner version of Michelle Pfeiffer here. But she's not as sweet as Michelle.

Am I the only one who used to watch Grease 2 with Michelle Pfeiffer over and over again during the summer months between grades of school? That movie had some of the best musical numbers, including one about the birds and bees and it was terribly provocative, especially for an impressionable Mormon youth such as myself.
