Home Kelley called Pfeiffer decision to join the series the 'second luckiest yes' he’s ever received from her David E. Kelley revealed a surprisingly candid truth about his latest Apple TV+ series during a press event this week: he once said he would never work with his wife, Michelle Pfeiffer, but Margo’s Got Money Troubles changed his mind and casting the legendary actress for the role was a no-brainer. Kelley, the prolific creator behind shows like Ally McBeal and Big Little Lies, shared the story at an Apple TV+ press day panel alongside cast members including Elle Fanning and Nick Offerman. In discussing the casting process for Margo’s Got Money Troubles, he joked that early in his career he had vowed not to ever work with Pfeiffer, until this project came along.
