About Andie MacDowell
Rosalie Anderson "Andie" MacDowell is an American model and actress. She is the winner of two Golden Globe Awards.
MacDowell was born in Gaffney, South Carolina, the daughter of Pauline "Paula" Johnston , a music teacher, and Marion St. Pierre MacDowell, a lumber executive. Her family owned an ante-bellum summer house in Arden, North Carolina. It has since been made into a bed-and-breakfast named the Blake House Inn. Graffiti from her childhood visits is preserved in an upstairs bedroom closet. She dropped out of Winthrop College as a sophomore in 1978, and moved to Columbia, South Carolina, where she spent several years with her sister Beverly , working as a waitress in one of the first "Disco" nightclubs emerging from the 70s Carolina Beach Clubs. Rose and her live-in boyfriend, Chuck Neal, the nightclub DJ, organized a fashion show at the club in Columbia, "Stage Door", that attracted among others, photographers affiliated with New York modeling agencies. MacDowell was discovered there almost overnight and signed with Elite Model Management.
In the early 1980s she modeled for Vogue magazine and appeared in ad campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Vassarette, Armani perfume, Sabeth-Row, Mink International, Anne Klein and Bill Blass. In the May 1982 issue of GQ she appeared in a Bruce Weber layout with cover model Jeff Aquilon. A series of television commercials for Calvin Klein drew attention to her and led to her 1984 film debut in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, a role in which her lines were recorded by Glenn Close because her southern accent was too pronounced. In 1985, she had a small part in St. Elmo's Fire, but her film career seemed to have stalled.
