Margaret Qualley: Hollywood Actress, Southern Charm

Margaret Qualley, daughter of actress Andie MacDowell, has spoken about her distinctive childhood in Asheville, North Carolina. She described a blend of normal school life and the extraordinary experience of having a Hollywood actress as a mother.

Qualley fondly recalled enjoying Southern staples like grits and sweet tea, alongside frequenting Waffle House with her siblings. Her formative years were significantly shaped by her environment and experiences as a competitive dancer, lessons she carries into her acting career.

Transitioning from dance to acting at 16, Qualley eventually found her creative and personal fulfillment. She has maintained a private personal life, including her marriage to producer Jack Antonoff, whom she met in 2021 and married two years later.

Qualley attributes part of their connection to her "Southern girl etiquette," emphasizing her old-school approach to relationships. She shared that Antonoff makes her feel safe and comfortable, a stark contrast to previous relationships where she felt lonely.

She finds solace in being her authentic self with Antonoff, whom she likens to her lifelong ideal partner. Her experiences in the South and her upbringing have undeniably influenced her path to stardom and her personal relationships.
