In 1990 , Pfeiffer formed her own boutique film production company , Via Rosa Productions , which ran for 10 years . The company allowed her to produce and/or star in films tailored for strong women . She asked her best friend Kate Guinzburg to be her producing partner at the company . The two met on the set of the film '' Sweet Liberty '' ( 1986 ) and quickly became friends . Kate was the Production Coordinator on the film and became close with Pfeiffer over the course of the shoot . Via Rosa Productions was under a picture deal with Touchstone Pictures , a film label of The Walt Disney Studios . The first film the duo produced was the independent drama '' Love Field '' , which was released in late 1992 . Reviewers embraced the film and '' The New York Times '' felt that Pfeiffer was " again demonstrating that she is as subtle and surprising as she is beautiful " . For her portrayal of the eccentric Dallas housewife , she earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe for Best Actress – Drama and won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival
