She made her debut back in the 1980s, but she is still in demand and famous. And now Andie MacDowell has become a symbol of a trend called Grey Pride. She is not ashamed of her grey hair.
Earlier she had brown hair, but now it is completely covered with a shade of grey.
She is aging very harmoniously and gracefully. The actress compares herself with George Clooney, who is also not ashamed of age changes.
In her 65 years, she looks great and does not hide anything. She is now a pensioner.
At first, the actress was engaged in modelling activities. She represented famous brands (Armani, Yves St Laurent, etc.).
The first film in which she starred is ‘Greystoke’. The date of filming – 1984.
She got the role of Jane. For her creative career, Andy received an ‘Oscar’. However, the voiceover was Glenn Close, since the voice of the actress was too high.
Soon the actress appeared in the film ‘St. Elmo’s Lights’. True, she got an episodic role.
Following her was invited to shoot ‘Sex, Lies and Videos’. Acting talent Andy appreciated, so she received a ‘Golden Globe’.
If we talk about commercial success, then it is worth noting her union with Bill Murray. This was accomplished in the film ‘Groundhog Day’. By the way, this film influenced mass culture.
When McDowell played in ‘Four Weddings and One Funeral’, her popularity rose to the skies. That’s when she became truly famous.
She played very different characters, which explains her versatility. The proof of this is the series ‘Cedar Cove’.
No one was even surprised that the brand L’Oréal offered Andi a co-operation. Her brown hair attracted the attention of many.
And no matter how old the actress is, she is not afraid to appear in public without make-up and styling. Her silver hair is gathered in a bundle and looks neat, which shows that it is not necessary to hide grey hair.
Incidentally, she has also achieved success in European cinema.
Her appearance at the 76th Cannes Film Festival caused a real furore. Andy wore a shortened dress and platform shoes. Frankly speaking, it looked amazing.
As the actress admitted to journalists, her first grey hair appeared after the coronavirus.
The actress recalls that the grey hair was noticed by her children. Not only that, they said that Andy looks cool with them. And the star herself didn’t see anything wrong with it: George Clooney is also grey, but that doesn’t make him a bad actor. She feels that the grey hair completely matches her personality, so she doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
Managers were against grey hair, but Andi proved that it’s her highlight. She called her new look a mixture of ‘salt and pepper’. She has previously strived to be different.
Why salt and pepper? Because at first only 25% of the grey hair is visible. And then the amount of grey hair gradually increases. The transition between these stages is called ‘salt and pepper’.
In 2022, the actress published a photo of herself in grey. She noted that age should not be a reason for shame, because it should be proud and accepted with gratitude. Andy feels great in this image.
And everything is fine with her acting career – grey hair did not make her less in demand.
By the way, McDowell even starred in one film with her daughter, who gave birth to Paul Queally. This is the film ‘The Cleaner: the story of a single mother’. The other kids haven’t strayed far from the acting craft either.
Margaret recalls that she found it hard to work with her mum playing mum in front of the cameras. It’s a kind of deception. However, their acting was as natural as possible – not even without an eye roll.
However, she is proud of her mother’s achievements. As Margaret notes, this is the best thing that happened to her in her life. By the way, Andy is also proud of the success of her star heiress, who confidently follows in her footsteps.
Now the actress is taking part in the filming of the film ‘Goodrich’. She is paired with Mila Kunis and Kevin Pollack. Also included in the cast is Michael Keaton, with whom she starred in ‘Plenty’.
Andi hopes that she gets to do another film with her daughter.
She appreciates every moment and is happy that she can still be productive. She is afraid that someday this opportunity will be taken away from her.
We hope that the main wish of the actress will certainly come true.
In any case, McDowell looks great with her grey hair. She looks natural and effortless on camera, which makes viewers fall in love with her even more.
