You might have noticed we don’t see so much of Michelle Pfeiffer on the big screen these days. That’s because the proud mama puts the education of Claudia, 16, and John, 14, first.
“It kind of got harder and harder finding projects that didn’t entail me leaving home for long periods of time during the school year,” she explained to the Chester Chronicle. “Once they were enrolled in school, I didn’t like the idea of uprooting them or being away from them for long periods.”
The family of four — including Michelle’s husband David E. Kelley — then moved into a new home, an experience which proved to be “much bigger” than Michelle expected.
“Actually, [it was] quite overwhelming,” she admitted. “That kept me very occupied and busy, and distracted from my work.”
Now that life has settled, Michelle’s rediscovered her passion for acting.
“I started to miss it and thought it was time to go back,” she explained. “I decided to come back to work and Hairspray was there, Stardust was there. It’s been really fun and I’ve been lucky to have the opportunities I’ve had, actually my whole career, especially the past few years.”
Michelle’s latest film Cheri opens in limited release next month.
