London: Four Weddings and a Funeral star Andie MacDowell says she tried to discourage her daughters from becoming actresses.
Although the 53-year-old actress has enjoyed a successful career, she said that she was worried when 17-year-old Sarah Margaret, who she refers to simply as Margaret and Rainey, 22, told her they wanted to follow in their mother’s footsteps.
“I tried to talk them into doing something less stressful. Because while what I do is beautiful, it’s not easy. But I do like the idea of Margaret doing some stage training while she’s still young which I didn’t do,” Macdowell said.
However, she isn’t worried about her kids and said that sensible Margaret is reliable and motivated. “Wherever she ends up, I know I’ll never have to worry about her. I let her move to New York City alone aged 16 because I knew it was right for her. She’s just a really good kid.
I think it’s partly the discipline from her years of dancing and partly her personality but I’ve never had to worry about her getting in trouble. She’s so talented and motivated,” she added. (PTI)
