00:00 Actress Andi MacDowell marked her presence at the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival
00:07 as a long-lasting ritual.
00:09 She graced the red carpet of Cannes 2024 in her silver, shimmery bodycon gown and icy
00:16 blonde hair.
00:17 Being a versatile actress, her presence at Cannes 2024 was indeed noticeable.
00:24 The green card actress revealed that she was once scared of attending the Cannes Film Festival
00:31 back in 1989.
00:32 Talking to People magazine, the Bad Girls actress revealed her story about not attending
00:39 the Cannes Film Festival for the promotion of her 1989 film Sex, Lies and Videotape.
00:47 She said, "I just had a baby.
00:49 I was afraid."
00:50 As she gave birth to a baby and was going through a postpartum phase, it was difficult
00:56 for her to attend such a global attraction event at that time.
01:01 Earlier, there were many misogynistic critics who would comment on women's bodies, and postpartum
01:07 bodies were subject to huge criticism.
01:10 Hence, the actress chose to step out of the festival.
01:14 She called it, "That's a shame.
01:16 It's a real shame."
01:17 "Of course, things have changed a lot now.
01:21 Because of the shift in our expectations and because we brought it out, they can't be like
01:25 that to us anymore," MacDowell added.
01:28 But Annie also said that if a similar situation happened now in her life, she would not have
01:35 done the same.
01:36 The 66-year-old is a proud mother of three, Justin Qualley, Renny Qualley and Margaret
01:42 Qualley.
01:43 On the work front, the actress was last seen in the action thriller Red Right Hand in February
01:50 2024.
01:51 Stay tuned for more updates.
