Rainey Qualley might have benefited from being the offspring of an actor that’s been on the Hollywood scene since her star-making turn in “Sex, Lies and Videotape” back in the late 1980s, but she certainly wasn’t pushed into the limelight by Andie MacDowell.
Indeed, the triple threat only made her acting debut in 2012’s “Mighty Fine” playing Maddie, the daughter of MacDowell’s leading lady Stella, at the age of 23. And in an interview with E! News, she revealed that her mom made it clear that a life in showbiz wasn’t always a bed of roses: “She’s very supportive. Of course, like any parents would be, she has moments where she’s like, ‘Don’t you just want to have a normal life and be away from the spotlight?’ But, especially now that things are really starting to happen, she’s psyched.”
MacDowell doesn’t seem to have thrust her own fame into the faces of her kids, either. Speaking to Town and Country with the rest of her famous family, Qualley disclosed that she rarely saw her mom on screen during her childhood: “For a long time my mother wouldn’t let me watch her movies, the grown-up ones at least. It’s fun being able to see them now, especially ‘Sex, Lies,’ since she was pregnant with me at that time. And ‘Green Card,’ too — I just like seeing her then, because I never knew her when she was younger.”
