Michelle Pfeiffer sat down and said something about how she wants to spend whatever time she has left that landed differently than anything she has said in years — that every choice from now on has to be meaningful, that she is done spending her time on anything that does not matter to her deeply.
The same woman who just spent months filming in Montana with no bathroom, no food and no air conditioning in open terrain because the role mattered enough to endure all of it — is now saying she is stepping back, slowing down and choosing her grandchild over every red carpet Hollywood can offer her. At 67 Michelle Pfeiffer just quietly said everything the rest of us are afraid to.
