US actress Margaret Qualley (28, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”) says she was deeply disappointed as a child when her mother Andie MacDowell (65) brought her actor colleague Dennis Quaid (69) home with her.
At the time, she was hoping that her divorced parents would get back together, Qualley told Harper’s Bazaar magazine. That’s why she raved to her mother about the film “A Twin Seldom Comes Alone” and pointed out that the people in it made “a lot of smart decisions.”
In the film with Dennis Quaid, which is based on Erich Kästner’s classic “The Double Lottchen”, twins – both played by Lindsay Lohan – reunite their separated parents. MacDowell later went on a film shoot with Quaid, Qualley remembers. “She comes home and says, ‘Margaret, I know how much you love ‘A Gemini Rarely Comes Alone’.”
Qualley said she then waited “with bated breath” for the story from the film to repeat itself for her. “And then Dennis Quaid walks in – her new boyfriend!”
