“She’s so much braver than I could have ever been,’ admitted MacDowell. Andie MacDowell has joked that she is experiencing “reverse nepotism” thanks to the success of her daughter, Margaret Qualley. MacDowell, a star of 1990s comedies such as Four Weddings and a Funeral and Groundhog Day, has seen Qualley, 30, rise through the ranks in Hollywood, having most recently won praise for her performance in The Substance.

The extreme body horror movie sees Qualley play a younger doppelganger of Demi Moore’s character, who takes a black market drug in an attempt to revive her career. The film recently received five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Moore.
The 66-year-old added: “She’s great, so good in The Substance, and the movie is fantastic. And she takes so many chances, she’s so much braver than I could have ever been. She really carved her own road, I’m super proud of her.”. Qualley first began starring in films in 2013, making her debut in the Gia Coppola drama Palo Alto and then alongside Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in The Nice Guys. She also starred in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood and the Yorgos Lanthimos films Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness.
She also starred in the Netflix series Maid, where she and MacDowell played mother and daughter. MacDowell’s eldest daughter Rainey, 35, is also in the entertainment business, having released several songs and starred in movies such as Ocean’s Eight and Shut In.
