The actor is entering a new phase in her life and career. But she’ll never stop dancing to the song in her head.
“She put this enormous pressure on herself,” says MacDowell, who, when she calls, introduces herself as “Margaret’s mother.” “I think she’s working on relaxing and having more fun. I think she’s conscious of the fact that she is very driven, and she’s smart enough to recognize that there are other things in life. I think that’s something that she has to be conscious of because she always wants to do a great job. She will give everything to whatever she’s doing because that’s just who she is.
Margaret is the youngest of MacDowell’s three children with her ex-husband Paul Qualley. Margaret’s sister, Rainey, who is five years older, is an actor and a musician and lives in L.A. Her brother, Justin, is nine years her senior and works in real estate in Montana. Andie and Paul, who were both models, met in the mid-1980s on the set of a Gap shoot.
