Nearly 33 years have passed since Andie MacDowell (64) was nominated for her first major acting award, a Golden Globe, for her performance in Steven Soderbergh's critically acclaimed independent film Sex, Lies, and Videotape. She received more nominations for the romantic comedies Green Card (1991) and Four Weddings and a Funeral (1995), and she also found success with Groundhog Day (1993). After divorcing their father, Paul Qualley, in 1999, MacDowell has continued to work steadily while spending most of the last 20 years raising her kids in North Carolina.
MacDowell has three children. Two daughters and a son. While her son, Justin, is a real estate agent, her daughters, Rainey and Margaret Qualley have followed in their mothers footsteps and gone into acting. Rainey (32) is not quite as well known as her little sister Margaret (28), but what they do have in common, aside from their effortless beauty, is their drive and determination. In fact, both Andie MacDowell and her daughters are resolute in their fields and we have everything you want to know.
Andie MacDowell"s Career
Andie MacDowell is an American actor who has played notable roles in films like The Big Short, Cedar Cove, and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Not only a leading actor, Andie has appeared in a handful of advertisements, most notably her Calvin Klein ad.
MacDowell has garnered numerous accolades for her performances in a variety of movies. One of her most prominent achievements was her performance in the film Sex, Lies, and Videotape, where she played the role of the protagonist Ann.
In addition to her impressive acting career, Andie MacDowell has also been known to show up in the occasional campaign for a fashion house, like Yves Saint Laurent and Armani. But most recently, Andie is in a new Hallmark series, The Way Home.
Del, the matriarch of the Landry family and an important member of the tight-knit neighborhood in her small Canadian agricultural town, will be played by MacDowell. Following horrific circumstances that turned their family into a downward spiral and caused Kat to leave the family, she and her daughter have been alienated from one another for quite some time.
The three generations of women set out on an illuminating quest to reunite and uncover crucial truths about their family's history when Kat unexpectedly makes a comeback many years later with her teenage daughter, whom Del has never met.
Rainey Qualley’s Career
The daughter of actor Andie MacDowell and former model Paul Qualley, Rainey Qualley is an American singer, actor, and model. She received the title of "Miss Golden Globe 2012," which is typically bestowed on a celebrity's offspring by the association that organizes the awards ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Alongside her mother, Rainey made her cinematic debut in 2012's "Mighty Fine." She has since performed in the movies "Falcon Song," "Perfect," and "Ocean's Eight." She has had appearances in popular TV shows including "Cedar Cove" and "Mad Men," and she has roles in the short films "Pink & Baby Blue," "No Other Like You," and "Samice."
Rainey uses the name Rainsford for her singing career. She writes, sings, and produces a lot of her own music. In order to concentrate on her career as a singer-songwriter, Rainey relocated to Nashville in 2014. That same year, she also released her debut single, "Turn Me On Like A Radio," a country song with a youthful and pop-like vibe.
Emotional Support Animal, Rainsford's debut EP, was discreetly released in 2018. She has also enlisted the help of her model buddies to add some originality. Kaia Gerber and her sister appear in the music video that Cara Delevigne directed for her song, "Crying in the Mirror." While she has yet to put out an album, she has written nearly 100 songs. We will see what 2023 has in store for her.
Margaret Qualley’s Career
With roles in movies and TV shows including Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood, The Nice Guys, and HBO's The Leftovers, Margaret Qualley has established a solid Hollywood career for herself. The former dancer-turned-model-turned-actor has shown off her skills on the big screen and on some of the most prestigious runways in fashion, including multiple couture events in Paris.
Qualley was nominated for an Emmy for her performance as dancer and Tony Award–winning choreographer Ann Reinking in the FX limited series Fosse/Verdon. She also got the Emmy nod including a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in the Netflix miniseries Maid.
Margaret's dating life is enticing as well. She, of course, dated Pete Davidson. It's a right of passage these days in Hollywood, or so it would seem. She went on to date Shia LaBeouf in October 2020. She and Shia starred together in one of her sister's music videos, "Love Me Like You Hate Me."
Since 2021, though, she has been in a relationship with Jack Antonoff. The couple recently announced their engagement on Instagram; that's how you know it's serious.
