This Pfriday, we take a brief detour from La Pfeiffer's pfeature pfilms to delve into her work on television, where her acting career began. The first entry in this two-episode miniseries is THE CHILDREN NOBODY WANTED, Michelle's final TV movie before her breakout role in Grease 2. Based on the true story of The Butterfield Ranch, Michelle is given what is considered her first leading role, but is once again playing the supportive girlfriend. We're also talking about how the medium of television films have changed since the 80s, the perils of typecasting, plus the natural talent Michelle continued to show in these early roles.
