At 28, Margaret Qualley, the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell, has already made a mark in Hollywood with her cool personality and dancer-like grace. The Chanel ambassador has worked with acclaimed directors like Quentin Tarantino and French filmmaker Claire Denis in “Stars at Noon“. With her laid-back New York accent and a unique on-screen presence characterized by nonchalance and intensity, she captivates audiences.
In Claire Denis’ hypnotic “Stars at Noon“, the camera is seemingly fixated on her face. Her frank and supernatural beauty caught the attention of Chanel, who appointed her as one of their ambassadors. Trained as a dancer, Margaret’s undeniable “physicality” adds a distinct dimension to her acting. This was evident in her breakthrough role in Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood“, where she played Pussycat, one of Charles Manson’s groupies.
Despite being the daughter of a Hollywood star, Margaret did not initially consider acting as a career. Growing up in a quiet suburb in Asheville, North Carolina, she led a simple and discreet life. However, she eventually moved to New York and discovered her passion for acting. Reflecting on her mother’s influence, Margaret said, “Having a mother so passionate about her work and so respected in the profession is very inspiring“.
Margaret appreciates French cinema, admiring actresses like Isabelle Adjani and Marion Cotillard, and dreams of working with François Ozon. She developed a close relationship with Claire Denis after the director saw her performance in Tarantino’s film. Denis Lavant, another French actor she admires, has inspired her secret dream: “My secret dream would be to be Denis Lavant!“.
