![]() ![]() “I’m sad I didn’t take more chances,” she said, suggesting she failed to fight for the lead in raunchy ‘9½ Weeks’. MacDowell recently told The Guardian that she wishes she’d been less cautious as a young actress. She was part of the ‘Town & Country’ debacle in 2001, a flop of such gigantic and negative proportions that it tainted almost all its cast including Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn and Josh Hartnett.īack in 1986, she turned down Jodie Foster’s role in ‘The Accused’, which went on to win Foster an Oscar. On-screen, it appears to have been as much about luck as bad choices. She was engaged to an Atlantan jewellery businessman seven years her junior in 2006, but has kept her private life just that in more recent years, admitting in 2013 that she was single. She and Hartzog married in 2001, but divorced three years later. They divorced in 1999 and she returned to her Southern roots where she reconnected with old high school classmate Rhett Hartzog. Married to fellow model Paul Qualley in 1986, the couple had three children at the height of her fame. MacDowell has certainly had an busy private life. But Hollywood has a unique set of demands – mostly centred around being awesome and red-carpet ready 24/7 – which sometimes leads participants to make their way to the periphery of the business, at least for a while. Of course it shouldn’t be any different to maintaining a regular job and being a mother, which millions do every day. Some of it is certainly the difficulties faced by women who want to maintain stardom but have a family at the same time. She has worked as a spokesperson for L’Oréal since she was 27 and her flawless, porcelain complexion looks the same as it did back in the 90s.īut there are lots of beautiful women in Hollywood. Meanwhile, her beauty and skill as a model has never been in question. She is, to most people, a Marmite performer. Her line about the rain at the end of ‘Four Weddings’ is routinely mocked as the worst part of the film (she didn’t write it you know!) and in her first movie ‘Greystoke’, she was dubbed – much to her embarrassment – by Glenn Close. So why has the South Carolinian been off the Hollywood map? The answer is a difficult one.įrankly, MacDowell has never been particularly esteemed as an actress despite her three Golden Globe nominations. In fact, other than an episode of ’30 Rock’ in 2012, the 58-year-old actress has been in nothing high-profile since, er, well ‘Multiplicity’ with Michael Keaton in 1996 was alright… So it’s kind of a surprise that 21 years later, she only just returned to the mainstream with a supporting role in ‘Magic Mike XXL’. But 1994 was the year of ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ and after being released in the US on 15 April, it was slowly turning into a box office juggernaut. She had appeared in ‘Groundhog Day’ the previous year, a successful movie which would go on to be known as a modern classic. Almost No Men Went To See Magic Mike XXL Magic Mike XXL Poster ‘Censored’ In Australia There was actually a moment, probably around June or July 1994, when Andie MacDowell was going to be a very, very big star. If so, don’t worry, you’re not the only one. You can’t be young forever, but you can always be considered beautiful, fashionable, and glamorous.Were you one of the people who watched last year’s ‘Magic Mike XXL’ or even just saw the trailer and thought, “blimey, is that Andie MacDowell? I haven’t seen her in a while.” “In the past, it has been normal and acceptable to cut women off at age 40,” she continued. (It should be noted that MacDowell is a longtime L’Oréal ambassador, but the proof is right on top of her head-this $7 product works.) It makes all the difference in the world. “I use the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Brass Toning Purple Conditioner, because silver hair can get kind of yellow. I don’t even shampoo, which I would not suggest to anyone without curly hair,” she told InStyle. “I dump buckets of conditioner on my hair. Now, the actress is focused on keeping her hair as happy and healthy as possible. It’s like I’ve taken a mask off or something.” ![]() “We’re beautiful at every age and glorious in our own way, and we have so much to offer. “I hate the word ’embrace,’ because it always sounds like you’re having to accept something, and I don’t feel like that,” MacDowell continued. Just don’t say she’s embracing her natural hair color. ![]()
