About this episode
Mariel & Melissa welcome actor and filmmaker Dedee Pfeiffer to Out Comes The Sun! From truly humble beginnings, Dedee, her brother Rick, and her sister’s Lori and Michelle Pfeiffer grew up in Midway City, California, as the children of a heating and air conditioning contractor and a homemaker. Dedee Pfeiffer landed her first movie role in John Landis' film "Into the Night" and her first television role in the series "Simon & Simon." She went on to star opposite Grace Jones in the horror cult classic comedy "Vamp," and was in such films as the cult classic "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas and in the award-winning film "L.A., I Hate You." Dedee was cast on "Cybil" as Cybil Shepherd's daughter Rachel. Cybil went on to earn nearly three dozen awards and nominations, picking up three Primetime Emmy awards and the Golden Globe Award for best television series - musical or comedy. Dedee and the rest of the cast were nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series. Dedee went on to star in the series "For Your Love" and guest starred in several of the most iconic shows on television, including "Seinfeld," "Friends," two "CSI" series and "ER." In 2020, she began starring as Denise Brisbane in the ABC crime drama series, "Big Sky" created by her brother-in-law David E. Kelley. And although Dedee has officially “made it” a long time ago, in Hollywood as an actor, what she may be most proud of is “making it” in life and in her recent recovery.
