“#Margaret Qualley & Andie MacDowell Talk Onscreen Mother-Daughter Dynamic<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not every day that a daughter and mother get to share the screen, but Margaret Qualley and Andie MacDowell are being given that chance in Netflix\u2019s upcoming drama Maid<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The limited series<\/a> from showrunner Molly Smith Metzler and executive producers John Wells and Margot Robbie delivers a story inspired by Stephanie Land\u2019s best-selling 2019 memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother\u2019s Will to Survive<\/i>. Qualley takes center stage as Alex, a young woman who is trying to find her footing as a single mother to Maddy (Rylea Neveah Whittet) after leaving an abusive relationship.<\/p>\n

Finding work as a maid, Alex turns to her mother Paula (MacDowell), who is dealing with issues of her own such as struggles with mental health. The dynamic between Paula and Alex is just one of the many facets of this heart-wrenching story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI read the script<\/a> and I thought the writing was just incredible,\u201d marvels Qualley. \u201cI was just really taken aback by her experience, and it seemed like such an incredible part.\u201d The actress was excited to tackle the challenges that the role of Alex would bring her and working with real-life mom MacDowell was just an added bonus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was actually my idea to work with my mom,\u201d Qualley reveals. \u201cSo I was so lucky that she wanted to do it. I pitched the idea to Margot Robbie and she was just ecstatic and loved it.\u201d The series shoot lasted eight months, giving the duo plenty of time to bond onscreen and enjoy time together behind the scenes. \u201cI\u2019m really grateful that she did it,\u201d Qualley adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019d said she realized that I was really the right person to play this character,\u201d MacDowell says, noting that over the years, \u201cmy daughter\u2019s asked me a lot of questions about growing up. I think she wants to understand where I came from.\u201d<\/p>\n

While MacDowell\u2019s character is quite different from anyone in her own life, she reveals it was easier to connect with Paula based on her own experiences growing up. The actress\u2019s character in the series is an artist who struggles with mental health, confidence, relationships, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia right after I was born,\u201d shares MacDowell. \u201cSo it was complex, my upbringing, and I had other relationships that involved mental illness that [Margaret] was aware of too. So I have firsthand experience and she knew that, but even my mother, it didn\u2019t manifest exactly the same way [as Paula\u2019s].\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the heavier aspects to her role, MacDowell enjoyed exploring the free-spirited Paula who often ties herself to men in order to feel valued. \u201cThat was so much fun to explore,\u201d she says, \u201cand it was a gift from my daughter. She\u2019s so sweet because she\u2019ll say things to me that blow my mind, the way she sees me, I really appreciate her view of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mothers and daughters play a huge role in the show ranging from Alex\u2019s relationship with Paula to the bond she shares with her own daughter Maddy. \u201cAlex wants to be the complete opposite of her mother,\u201d MacDowell says. \u201cHer mother is just this wide open, lusty person and Alex is very reserved and interior, quiet, and proper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bringing that to life was an interesting challenge for Qualley who isn\u2019t a mother in real life but would fool most with her onscreen performance. \u201cRylea is four and there\u2019s only so much acting that can be done when you\u2019re four,\u201d notes Qualley. \u201cSo a lot of our stuff had to be relatively authentic.\u201d<\/p>\n

That authenticity was built by going on grocery shopping outings together or even making meals. \u201cBefore we\u2019d do a scene where I\u2019m supposed to be cooking her breakfast, I\u2019d cook her breakfast, so that she feels safe and cozy and happy,\u201d Qualley reveals. \u201cI had a blast with her. She was my best friend on the shoot. It was a really surreal experience for me, but also really rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n

See the mother-daughter relationships come to life when Maid <\/em>arrives on Netflix this October.<\/p>\n
