Michelle Pfeiffer ‘Never Wants to Star in Another Movie’ After Recent TV Roles: ‘So Much More Fun’
The Oscar-nominated actress says television and ensemble casts offer richer roles for women and more fun than carrying a film alone.
- At an Apple TV event, Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Pfeiffer revealed she no longer wants to headline films, shifting entirely to ensemble projects. "I never want to star in another movie," she explained, citing how much more enjoyable collaborative work feels.
- This pivot follows a productive year in television for the veteran star, who currently headlines and produces Margo's Got Money Troubles and appears in The Madison. Both series have already been renewed, validating her shift toward small-screen storytelling.
- Pfeiffer praised television for offering women richer, more complex material, saying she has been "bowled over" by female performances on the small screen. Working with her husband of over 30 years, writer David E. Kelley, on the series has proven particularly rewarding.
- Playing Shyanne in her latest project has been a "blast" for Pfeiffer, who described the character as "the wallflower" in real life. The series stands out because its characters are "complicated" and "flawed," allowing deeper exploration of human complexity.
- She noted that a famous Robin Williams quote perfectly captures the series' emotional core: "Remember that everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about, and be kind." This philosophy guides her commitment to projects emphasizing human depth.
