Michelle Pfeiffer Joins Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman in MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES
Michelle Pfeiffer has joined the cast of the Apple TV+ limited series, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, in which she will star alongside Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman.
The story is based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, and it’s being headed up by prolific TV creator David E. Kelley, marking his first collaboration with his wife of 31 years, Pfeiffer, and A24. Both Fanning and Kidman are also executive producing.
The eight-part series, set in the world of OnlyFans with a wrestling twist, landed at Apple TV+ with a straight-to-series order earlier this year.
“Fanning stars as Margo Millet, the child of a Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and an ex-pro wrestler, who has always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living.
“She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger.
“Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion—fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare.
Then Margo begins to form a plan: she’ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling. Could this be the answer to all of Margo’s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?”
Pfeiffer will play Shyanne, Margo’s (Fanning) mother, who had worked at Bloomingdales for the past 15 years, following her six-year stint at Hooters. Kidman is believed to be playing Margo and her professor’s mediator.
This book has been on my reading list. It sounds like an interesting story, and the cast is fantastic, so I look forward to seeing this series. Stay tuned for updates as the series moves forward.
