Following the announcement of Apple TV+'s Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Michelle Pfeiffer is teaming up professionally with her husband, Emmy-winning writer-producer David E. Kelley, for the first time in 28 years. Pfeiffer stars as Shyanne, the mother of lead character Margo (Elle Fanning), in the drama exploring financial struggles.
The couple, married since 1993, last worked together on the 1996 film To Gillian on Her Birthday. Pfeiffer has long preferred to keep their careers separate, explaining she wants Kelley to remain 'on my side' after challenging days on set.
In Margo’s Got Money Troubles—adapting Rufi Thorpe's novel and set to premiere April 15—Pfeiffer plays Shyanne, a former Hooters waitress. The ensemble includes Elle Fanning as Margo, Nicole Kidman, and Nick Offerman. This rare collaboration underscores their selective professional intersection amid decades of individual Hollywood success.
