The film star was reflecting on her future in acting when she made the announcement. "I don't have time nor the desire to go that deep for that long and not be present," Pfeiffer said, referring to being there for her family.

She continued, "I realize I have a finite amount of time left and — I might announce on this show — that I became a grandmother last year," she said. "I've been very quiet about it and it is — it's heaven. It's ridiculous."

Pfeiffer added that had she known she was going to be a grandma, she wouldn't have "taken on so much work." Still, she said she has enjoyed her career and feels deeply grateful. "I've loved — I love each of these projects," the "Batman Returns” star said.

"And so the weird thing is that giving up that angst about the process has freed me up and I feel in some ways has made me better,'" she reflected. Pfeiffer did not disclose which of her children welcomed a baby.

She shares daughter Claudia, 32, and son John, 31, with her husband, TV producer David E. Kelley. The couple have largely kept their children out of the spotlight, though they have made a few red-carpet appearances with them over the years.
