The oddball comedy helped to showcase the actor as a star capable of delivering savvy, smart quips with heart and nuance. Especially something like 'Groundhog Day ,'" as MacDowell once told Newsweek. The film was a surprise success, something that nobody "could really predict. So I just took a lot of classes and worked on every aspect of myself," she said. "I knew I was going to have to fight really hard. However, it only made MacDowell more determined to prove herself to the industry. Stating that she received "no complaints about her performance" prior to learning of the vocal switch, MacDowell told the Chicago Tribune that she found the experience "devastating" and "a cruel time." Critics were "mean-spirited" about the decision to remove her voice from the film. However, the memory of the film continues to be one of the most embarrassing for the star, whose natural accent was dubbed over by Glenn Close for the entire film. I couldn't say, 'My children are crying for me'.A now-iconic commercial for Calvin Klein featured the young model unleashing that humor and realness with a charming Southern accent, but she wanted more, telling Bustle, "I did theater in college and knew since I was a child that I wanted to act." She got her wish, landing her first role in the 1984 Tarzan flick "Greystroke" at the age of 23. "And the problem with filming is that you are obligated to stay. "What if something happened and I couldn't get back to my kids?," she says of her reluctance to get back to work. "My daughter took off from New York at 9 that morning, and passed the World Trade Centre 10 minutes before a plane crashed into it," she recounts a near miss that would scare anyone. Since September 11, she has not taken new roles, because she doesn't want to leave home. She makes it sound as if a career is surplus to requirements. "I have to make breakfast for the kids, deal with all their paperwork from school, tidy the house, sort out their clothes, make plans for the weekend and cook my husband's dinner." Her life now appears to be one of domestic bliss. Since he was still single at 40 and Andie was loathing the dating game, one of her sisters arranged a meeting. As a spokesperson for L'Oreal, I did not want to set a bad example." "I have three children, I have responsibilities, I have a certain persona to uphold in society because of who I am. "I was terrified that people would find out that I was a closet smoker." But for someone of her rigid self-control, a nicotine addiction turned into a nightmare. "It's bizarre to start as a woman of 40 but cigarettes were absolutely fabulous," she says, with a hint of wickedness. "Drinking has never been the answer for me," she says, "it makes me feel worse." Instead, she took up smoking. Unlike her character in the film, who drinks enthusiastically (along with the local doctor and police chief, played with great gusto by Anna Chancellor and Imelda Staunton), MacDowell never took to the bottle. Whatever she says about her stability throughout the two-year period in which she was dating prospective "life mates", it sounds as if she went fairly loopy.
