The Mother of 'The Substance' Star was Once a Hollywood Icon — Here’s How She Looks Today

Andie MacDowell, Margaret Qualley

The star embraces natural ageing.

Margaret Qualley is one of the most in-demand actresses today, with her latest role in the body horror film The Substance earning widespread attention. Interestingly, acting runs in her family — her mother, Andie MacDowell, was also a major Hollywood star.

MacDowell began her acting career in the late 1970s and became known for hit films such as Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Groundhog Day, and Four Weddings and a Funeral. However, by the mid-1990s, a string of box office disappointments led to a decline in her mainstream success. She then shifted her focus to independent films and television.

A career resurgence came in the 2010s. MacDowell starred in the Hallmark series Cedar Cove (2013) and appeared in the successful thriller Ready or Not (2019). In 2021, she took on a role alongside her daughter Margaret in Netflix’s Maid, introducing her work to a new generation of audiences.

Now 66, MacDowell embraces natural ageing, opting against cosmetic procedures and frequently making public appearances with her signature silver hair.
