BREAKING: Alaina Pollack, star of the highly anticipated series The Madison, shared invaluable insights gained from working alongside Hollywood icons Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell. The show is set to premiere on March 14, 2026, exclusively on Paramount+.

Pollack, who portrays Macy Reese, the youngest granddaughter of Pfeiffer and Russell’s characters, opened up about her experience during a recent interview. “The show does such a good job of portraying grief and loss in a beautiful, complicated way,” she stated, highlighting the emotional depth that Taylor Sheridan infused into the script.

The young actress described her character as vibrant and curious, saying, “Macy’s so fun. She loves bright colors and skirts.” Pollack’s enthusiasm is palpable, and her performance promises to resonate with audiences when the show launches.

Despite her youth, Pollack is holding her own amongst seasoned stars. “I haven’t seen much of their work… but I got to know them for who they are,” she remarked, expressing gratitude for her interactions with Pfeiffer and Russell. “They’re both such lovely, lovely human beings.”

In a touching moment on set, Pfeiffer offered Pollack a piece of advice she learned from Al Pacino. “She told me, ‘Just say to clear your eye line,’” Pollack recalled. This advice helped her manage nerves while filming, allowing her to focus better amidst the bustling set.

Pollack has already demonstrated her professionalism, even while navigating the challenges of filming on crutches due to a knee injury from gymnastics. She remains optimistic, stating, “I’m grateful to be part of this project and learn from the best.”

As excitement builds for the premiere of The Madison, fans can look forward to a series that promises to explore deep emotional narratives while showcasing Pollack’s standout performance.
