Dedee Pfeiffer, celebrated actress and younger sister of Michelle Pfeiffer, is known for her roles in hit shows like *Cybill* and *For Your Love* and her recent return to television as Denise Brisbane in ABC's *Big Sky.* But Dedee's journey is far more compelling than her screen credits alone. After stepping away from Hollywood for a decade to confront her alcohol addiction and raise her children as a single mom, she emerged not just as a survivor but as an advocate for recovery.
During her hiatus, Dedee earned a master’s degree in social work from UCLA and worked hands-on with the homeless and those battling mental health challenges. Her recovery journey was marked by courage and resilience, and she’s since become a powerful voice for addiction recovery, encouraging others to “recover out loud” and break the stigma around substance abuse.
Today, Dedee blends her revitalized acting career with her passion for helping others, sharing her story on platforms like the Betty Ford Center’s 40th anniversary event and advocating for the power of support systems and self-healing. Her story isn’t just about survival—it’s about transformation. Join us as we delve into Dedee Pfeiffer's extraordinary journey on this episode of our podcast.
