‘The Madison’ Star Michelle Pfeiffer Says There Was ‘No Bathroom,’ ‘No AC’ and ‘No Food’ on Set While Shooting Taylor Sheridan Series

Michelle Pfeiffer recently told the “In Conversation” podcast that there was “no bathroom,” “no food” and “no AC” on set with shooting Taylor Sheridan’s “The Madison.”

“It was all a little bit rushed for everyone, and so there weren’t certain accommodations set up,” Pfeiffer said. “There is no bathroom, even the outhouse is not real. So there’s no AC, there’s no plumbing, there isn’t anything. But it is breathtakingly glorious.”

She added, “We didn’t really have trailers there, because they were shooting 360, so they couldn’t have a bunch of trailers around. So there’s really no place for us to sit. There was no bathroom nearby. There was no food. And in the winter, it was cold. It was like, ‘Could we have a heater?’ And in the summer, it was like, ‘Could I get an umbrella because the sun’s really intense?’”

Pfeiffer stars in “The Madison” alongside Kurt Russell, Beau Garrett, Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack and Ben Schnetzer. The Paramount+ drama series follows a New York family that relocates to rural Montana after a family tragedy.

During a recent sitdown with Variety, Cole Hasuer said the set conditions on Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” spinoff, “Dutton Ranch,” weren’t the most accommodating either.

When asked about the difference between shooting in Montana for “Yellowstone” and Texas for “Dutton Ranch,” Hauser said, “Coming down there, it was just a totally different world. The weather was different. We started in July and August, and that was painful. It was 118 degrees, and you’re in all black, sitting on a horse. The trailers aren’t 200 yards away — they’re miles away. So you’re out there in the elements. Getting into that and being able to survive the first couple of months was a feat in itself. And then, the new cast, new crew, new landscape, the new way of cowboying, it was all a learning experience. I took it head on, and we powered through it the first couple of months, and then started to find our feet and get into the groove.”
