Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Actress. (b. Apr. 21, 1958, South Carolina, as Rose Anderson MacDowell.) This ex-model first made waves in a series of saucy Calvin Klein TV commercials, which led to her casting in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), but the producers decided that her Southern accent was too noticeable, and asked Glenn Close to dub all her lines after the fact. She was mere decoration in St. Elmo's Fire (1985), and her film career seemed over, until her eye-opening performance as the dissatisfied wife in Steven Soderbergh's sex, lies, and videotape (1989) revealed an actress worth watching. That film propelled her, overnight, to the ranks of leading ladies, in such pictures as Green Card (1990), The Object of Beauty, Hudson Hawk (both 1991), Groundhog Day, Short Cuts and Deception (all 1993), Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bad Girls (both 1994). At her best, MacDowell is able to project intelligence along with sex appeal. |  |
