Margaret’s parents, Andie MacDowell and Paul Qualley got divorced when she was young. On The Late Late Show with James Corden, she said that this is when she became obsessed with the movie The Parent Trap. She tried dropping subtle hints to her mother about the movie and specifically the happy ending in hopes that they would get back together. Her mother, MacDowell, mistook her hints and started dating the dad from the movie, Dennis Quaid. You could say that MacDowell did not understand the assignment.

Qualley was living on cloud 9 when she got a part in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood after she originally thought she didn’t. She was super dedicated to her role growing her armpit hair out to truly embody her character, Pussycat. One thing that she didn’t quite like was when Quentin Tarantino wanted to show her bare feet in the car with Brad Pitt. In the end, she had a great time, toes out and all, playing this role.
