With a new movie coming out, Michelle Pfeiffer is making the rounds, submitting to interviews, sharing beauty secrets, telling the usual tales of being an ugly duckling as a child.

Though we doubt she was actually awkward or unattractive, the story the Mirror is reporting about the snarky teachers sounds like it could be true.

"I was a real tomboy.

"My teacher used to write on my report card ‘Michelle is one of the biggest girls in class’.

"All I wanted to be was to be one of a petite little girls but my mother always cut my hair in a pixies and there was nothing feminine about me."

We’re not sure what the pixie haircut has to do with being petite, but can’t you just imagine the teachers who would write such a thing about darling young Michelle?

Wouldn’t you just love to see them now? Ha!
