MacDowell Said It Was Easier to Get Work Back Then
In a 2019 interview about the movie “Michael” with Vulture, MacDowell recalled that it was easier to get work back then. She said she lived in Montana with three children and she’d go home for about three months at a time before calling her agent about finding another job.
“Then I knew it’d be time to get a job, so I’d call my agent,” she recalled. “It was much easier then, because your thirties are the best time for your career, as a woman. I’d say, ‘Start sending me some scripts.'”
MacDowell starred in the movie with John Travolta.
She recalled: “He’s very generous and kind. He had his own cook, and would offer to feed you, which was always a nice bonus. He’s got a very special energy around him.”
Today, MacDowell is one of the lead characters in Hallmark’s new series, “The Way Home.” And Roadside Attractions bought the rights to her comedy movie “My Happy Ending,” Deadline reported. It was released in theaters on February 24. The movie is about an actor who seeks medical treatment incognito and meets three unique women while at the hospital.
MacDowell also shared that she’s on a private celebrity dating app called Raya, Fox News reported. She said she was on there “mostly to do research for my new show.”
