A house is being built, she says, for her daughters, Margaret, 24, and Rainey Qualley, 29, who have followed her into the movie business. Next door is a building site, which MacDowell apologises for. A tiny rescue dog called Ava Gardner is sunning herself on the terrace. I meet MacDowell at her house, a secluded Spanish-style property that is modest by Hollywood Hills standards and homely, with a “Hello” doormat. “I’ve never told anybody that story so please don’t make it sound like I was a big druggy because I really wasn’t.” I was about to go home for a few seconds there.” She pauses. I started working non-stop and my whole life opened up. “I don’t know if they prearranged the whole thing, but it sure did work out well for me. The young man was Olivier Chandon de Brailles, the heir to Moët & Chandon. It was not what I intended to do.” John Casablancas, the founder of Elite, flew with her to Paris, “and this young man showed up at the agency who didn’t drink, smoke or do drugs, and it was like, I had a boyfriend.” “I wasn’t around famous people at that point. Who was she hanging out with? “I don’t even remember, honestly,” she says. I actually went into my agency and said I wanted to go home, and they said: ‘You need new friends. It didn’t make me feel good and I couldn’t sleep. “I had a small experience at the very beginning and hated it. “There was a lot of cocaine around,” she says. But she soon wanted to go back to her home town. She was 21 years old, had just been signed by the Elite model agency and appeared to have the world at her feet.
It was 1979, in the middle of the Studio 54 era, when she moved to New York. A ndie MacDowell’s career as a successful model, who went on to become a successful actor, almost ended before it began.
