Michelle Pfeiffer Joins Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning in David E. Kelley’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles Series
Michelle Pfeiffer has boarded the cast of husband David E. Kelley’s adaptation of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, for Apple TV+.
Adapted from Rufi Thorpe’s novel of the same name, the eight-episode series follows Margo Millet (played by Elle Fanning), the child of a Hooters waitress and a former pro wrestler, whose affair with a college English professor results in a pregnancy at age 20. Alone with an infant, unemployed and on the verge of eviction, Margo forms a plan — to start an OnlyFans as an experiment, adapting some of her father’s advice from the world of wrestling to “craft” a compelling character that the audience will fall in love with.
