Andie MacDowell’s debut film role was in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. Her lines were dubbed over by Glenn Close because her Southern accent was too strong to portray Jane Porter accurately. Close’s dub was unaccredited.

More of her films include The 5th Quarter. MacDowell was attracted to the beauty in the script. “It’s a true life story about an incredible family that goes through great loss but also has amazing courage,” she told uInterview. “And portraying Maryanne Abbate was just a great experience. They were there the whole time watching us, so that was also really interesting. So, it’s a family full of love that loses a child, that never should have happened, and they’re coping with that loss and the courage that they have to go on. And it’s also about, you know, the son and football and the community at a whole. And how people supported them.”
MacDowell also starred in the ABC show Jane by Design.
