They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree – and that’s certainly the case with Andie MacDowell and her youngest child, Margaret Qualley. The 24-year-old actress hit the red carpet this week for the premiere of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and the similarities between mother and daughter was striking. Margaret is the third child of Andie and her ex-husband Paul Qualley. The former couple were married from 1986 until 1999 and are parents to three children; daughters Margaret and Rainey, 28, and son Justin, 33.

"My dad told me, book a ticket to Panama [where he lives], and you'll get a Quentin Tarantino movie." So she took his advice, and it was while she was sitting on a remote beach with patchy phone signal that her agent rang, urgently requesting that she fly home and read lines with Brad Pitt. "I was like, 'Nooooo,'" she recalled. "That's crazy!!"
