“She is an informed and driven woman who constantly surprises. She has an infectious energy, quotes Eleanor Roosevelt, and embraces the modern era with honesty and fervor,” Elle notes.
Andie MacDowell is still an ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, promoting natural aging, and also says that she loves what she does and she loves doing what she loves.
This has been her philosophy ever since she started working in film. She recently starred in The Cleaner: The Story of a Single Mother with her daughter Margaret Qualley, and her new work is the series The Road Home, which touches on intergenerational relationships.
According to Andy, what attracted her attention in this television saga was the fact that it was created entirely by women.
“I love playing Del[Andy’s character in ‘The Road Home’ – ed.]because of her sadness, her suffering, her depth, what she’s going through, the loss she’s been through. Not having a relationship with her daughter and wasting years with her granddaughter, she looked for love elsewhere: with a neighbor, on a farm, in pottery. She is very self-sufficient and independent, “the actress describes her new role.
In her previous work, the acclaimed series “The Cleaner. The Story of a Single Mother,” Andy got the role of the mother of the main character, who suffers from bipolar disorder and therefore cannot provide the necessary support to her daughter, who needs her. The actress is sure that this should be talked about on the screen.
“You have no idea how many people came up to me after the premiere of the series to say that this is their story too,” the actress notes.
Andie MacDowell has been a spokesperson for L’Oréal Paris for over 35 years and is part of the Women of Worth program, dedicated to extraordinary women who change lives for the better. According to her, the brand celebrates women, elevates them and conveys a fundamental message: women age, but aging does not mean the loss of their beauty.

“The myth about beauty that I would like to debunk is that you need to be young to be beautiful. Age is not a barrier. For me, getting older means learning to live in the present, be more aware of time, forgive yourself and others more easily, love deeper, laugh more, don’t take yourself so seriously, be flexible.I really like the Eleanor Roosevelt quote: “Beautiful young people are an accident of nature, and beautiful old people are works of art.” That’s how I feel. It’s not just my appearance, it’s everything What surrounds me,” notes Andie MacDowell, who has not dyed her hair for a long time and has never used the services of plastic surgeons.
She jokes that she treats those who dye their hair well, after all, her two older sisters do it. And she made her choice simply because it suited her appearance. She did not plan to become a style icon.
However, she does not forget about the care of both hair and skin, using moisturizers.
But the actress understands that although people support the idea that women have the right to grow old, society is still more youth-oriented.
“We have succumbed to the idea that men can age and women can’t. And we have no choice. It’s a sad truth. Although the diversity of beauty has already been accepted, we have been tried for too long to classify: who are women, what they should be. You know what they say “That our best age is at 29. I thought it was at 40. To go beyond that is to proclaim that I’m comfortable at my age, that I stand for the fact that I can grow old. I insist, I’m not afraid to grow old. I’m more concerned about good health,” but the actress, who grew up in the southern United States, where she says girls were brought up the old fashioned way, caring most about them being sweet and well-mannered, admits she raised her daughters the same way. And now he tries to correct mistakes.

“I think one of the most powerful things you can do for another person and for the next generation is to see their power, push them to move on, be there for them and thank them. Give thanks for not being endure what our generation endured and do not settle for less, “- in the end, the actress said that she loves spending time with her family in Montana and just meditating while walking. According to her, enjoying nature is a magic accessible to everyone.
We will remind, earlier Andie MacDowell appeared at the 95th ceremony “Oscar”.
