- LOS ANGELES — Hollywood actress Michelle Pfeiffer is busy shooting for 'Margo’s
Got Money Problems in Los Angeles, California. It is a streaming adaptation of
the bestselling novel co-starring Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning.
-
- In the last 20 years or so, Pfeiffer says of the 23 projects
she’s worked on, only three have shot in the city, reports 'Variety'.
-
- “That’s crazy", the three-time Oscar nominated said
following her hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater in
Hollywood.
-
- As per 'Variety', like so many people in television and
movies, Pfeiffer worries Los Angeles is on the verge of no longer being an
industry town.
-
- “I don’t know a lot about the politics of it all, but I know
you need to bring back tax incentives”, the actress said. “People look at the
bottom line for productions — where are we going to get the most for our
dollars because you want all that money to go on screen, and if you’re saving
$4 million by going somewhere else, or even a million, that’s huge".
-
- She added, “I know it’s probably more complicated than it
appears, but the jobs are not gone. They’ve just moved. We gotta bring them
back”.
-
- Pfeiffer also recalled her first acting job, a Ford truck
commercial. She was given the day off by her boss at a Von’s in Orange County,
she was a cashier, to shoot the spot in Malibu.
-
- “You know, when I started out, all I initially thought was,
‘Can I make a living? And if I could make a living doing this, that would be
fantastic’”, she says. “That would have been good enough for me”.
-
- Fast forward about 45 years to today. Pfeiffer admits she
had a case of the jitters before speaking at the ceremony.
-
- “I was just so nervous”, says Pfeiffer, who stars in Taylor
Sheridan’s upcoming series 'Madison'.
-
- “I get really nervous about public speaking", she
added.
