Soon after coming to Hollywood at age 20, Pfeiffer was taken in by a seemingly friendly couple who ran a [[New Age|metaphysics]] and [[vegetarian]] [[cult]]. They helped her to cease drinking, smoking, and doing drugs. Over time, they took control of her entire life. Much of her money went to the group. "I was brainwashed," she said, "I gave them an enormous amount of money."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Michelle Pfeiffer: The day I realised I was part of a cult |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/celebritynews/10422883/Michelle-Pfeiffer-The-day-I-realised-I-was-part-of-a-cult.html |last=Duffin |first=Claire |date=November 2, 2013 |access-date=March 7, 2022|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]}}</ref>
