Michelle Pfeiffer Will Finally Play a David E. Kelley Character

As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for discerning the subtleties of cinematic collaborations and the intricacies of Hollywood marriages, I must admit that the union of Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelley on the small screen is an event that has me both excited and slightly apprehensive.

As a movie connoisseur, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the mesmerizing performances of Michelle Pfeiffer, a three-time Oscar nominee whose allure has extended from the silver screen to the small screen. She garnered an Emmy nod for her portrayal in the Madoff TV movie, “Wizard of Lies.” On the other side of the television landscape, we have David E. Kelley, a 11-time Emmy-winning mastermind behind hit shows such as “Ally McBeal” and “Big Little Lies,” who has often provided roles for actresses in his productions. Despite their marital bliss since 1993, Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelley have never shared the screen in a professional capacity (at least that’s what IMDb leads me to believe).

Anyway, that’s about to change: Pfeiffer has joined the cast of Kelley’s Apple TV+ show Margo’s Got Money Troubles, which comes off the success of Kelley’s courtroom drama Presumed Innocent, the rare Apple TV+ program people actually watched and talked about. Margo is based on the book by Rufi Thorpe, which according to the publisher is about a 20-year old woman named Margo who has a child with an English professor from her junior college and then starts an OnlyFans to make money. No, Michelle is not Margo. Elle Fanning is playing Margo, while Pfeiffer is playing a character named Shyanne, Margo’s mother. (The book summary I found describes Margo’s mother as a Hooters waitress.) As with many current TV projects, Nicole Kidman will also be there. As who? No idea. A mysterious woman with an unplaceable accent, surely.
