Imagine growing up Pfeiffer, younger sister to Michelle and an actress in your own right. And then during a ten-year absence from Hollywood, you earn a Bachelors and a Masters from UCLA, before dealing with something that you’d thought you might be able to keep to yourself - alcoholism.

For years, Actress Dedee Pfeifer presented a good front, but one day after starting to dial an 800 number for help, she decided to go to the place she’d been trying to avoid - rehab.

But what would you do if you were newly sober and your famous producer brother-in-law offered you the role of a lifetime? Would you politely decline and keep quiet about your sobriety? Or would you take the role and go on a podcast and tell your recovery story for the very first time?
