Michelle Pfeiffer: From Helicopter Mom to Grandma

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today where the headlines shine, powered by AI. Michelle Fyfer, the 67-year-old actress, opened up about being a total helicopter mom back when her kids Claudia, now 33, and John, 31, were little. She admits she hovered a lot, which is worlds away from her new character Cheyenne in the Apple TV series Margot's Got Money Troubles. That role has her playing a former Hooters waitress whose hands off with her own grandkids, barely interacting at all. Fyfer says it's foreign territory since she absolutely loves babies, and it took some adjusting to get into the mindset, but she nailed it. Eventually, working alongside Elle Fanning, who's 28 and plays the lead Margot, a college drop-out juggling of baby and bills made it smoother. Fyfer calls Fanning the easiest person to crack up, full of heart and joy. The show comes from her husband, Davidi Kelly's mind. Fyfer step back from acting unintentionally to prioritize family, getting picky about shoots that fit school schedules and kid-friendly spots.

Holiday season. New episodes drop Wednesdays on Apple TV, so catch that family drama vibe.
