Michelle Pfeiffer Called Helen Mirren Before Signing Onto Taylor Sheridan’s ‘The Madison’

When Michelle Pfeiffer was first approached about starring in “The Madison,” Taylor Sheridan’s new series about a woman whose life is turned upside down by an unspeakable tragedy, he only provided her with loose details. It would be a part of the larger “Yellowstone” universe.

“He explained, conceptually, the arc of the story and my character. And I was really intrigued by this rich socialite New York family going to Montana and trying to figure that out,” Pfeiffer explained. “Then I went away and thought about it and realized I wasn’t going to get anything on paper. I was going to have to, sight unseen, commit or not.
