In celebration of Qualley's 29th birthday, here are eleven facts you should know about the actress.&nbsp;

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. MacDowell has starred in many notable films, including Groundhog Day and Four Weddings and a Funeral.&nbsp;

She is Andie MacDowell's daughter. 

In her first <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/best-fall-movies-tv-shows-gilmore-girls-hocus-pocus-dead-poets-society" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV</a> lead role, Margaret Qualley plays Alex, a mother trying tirelessly to flee an abusive relationship in the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/prince-harry-heart-of-invictus-trailer-first-look-netflix-meghan-markle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix</a> limited series Maid. Acting alongside her mother, Qualley proved herself as an actress in this role. Her emotional vulnerability, facial expressions, and ability to develop a strong relationship with the child actress playing Alex's child seem utterly effortless.&nbsp;

She stars in Maid.

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>. "And I was like, if I'm not going to be the best, then it's not worth it. Which I know is a really messed up thing to say."

She is a former ballet dancer. 

Rumors of Margaret Qualley and musician Jack Antonoff's relationship have stirred since August 2021, but on August 19, 2023, the pair married in Long Island alongside celebrity guests like Lana Del Ray and Taylor Swift. In an interview with <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a45206958/margaret-qualley-interview-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harper's Bazaar</a>, Qualley said "I am so happy that I found my person. 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;

She is married to Jack Antonoff.

At the age of 17, Qualley made her debut as a debutante at Le Bal des Debutantes in Paris. She wore a beaded <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/elie-saab-haute-couture-fall-winter-2019-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elie Saab</a> Haute Couture gown for the evening.&nbsp;

In an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&amp;v=2qVd15KUWEU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W Magazine</a>, Margaret Qualley revealed that she initially did not book a part in Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood.&nbsp;Her dad encouraged her to buy a plane ticket to visit him in Panema, hoping that once she made plans, she would "get a Quentin Tarantino movie." Three days into the trip, she booked her role.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Her dad predicted her role on Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

Qualley walked for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/alberta-ferretti-spring-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alberta Ferretti</a> during New York Fashion Week in 2011.
