Margaret Qualley is the daughter of actress <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/gray-hair-2021-cannes-film-festival-red-carpet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andie MacDowell</a> and former model Paul Qualley.

Before becoming an actress and model, Qualley left home to study dance at the North Carolina School of the Arts. However, at the age of 16, she decided to quit dancing. "I didn't have the proper training when I was really little that would have made me be in the companies that I wanted to be in," she said in an interview with <a href="https://www.papermag.com/margaret-qualley-quentin-tarantino-2639165412.html?rebelltitem=18#rebelltitem18" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paper</a>.

She is a former ballet dancer.

And it&rsquo;s real. It&rsquo;s amazing," she continued. "It&rsquo;s the best feeling in the world. I&rsquo;m so excited and so at ease all at once.&rdquo;&nbsp;
