Busy as ever, MacDowell will next be seen in the CBS telepic Riding the Bus with My Sister directed by Anjelica Huston. She also recently finished production on the independent feature Tara Road directed by Gillies MacKinnon, and will be heard as the voice of Etta the hen in Barnyard.
Previously, MacDowell starred as a single woman who met regularly with her girlfriends to swap stories about their love lives, or lack thereof, in the film Crush, which made its American debut at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. She also starred in the poignant drama Harrison’s Flowers, about photojournalists behind the scenes in the war-torn Balkans, with Adrien Brody. She earned praise for her performance in the Emmy-nominated HBO original film Dinner with Friends.
She first received critical acclaim and accolades for her performance as a repressed young wife in Steven Soderbergh’s sex, lies and videotape. The film won the Palme d'or at Cannes and garnered MacDowell the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Best Actress as well as a Golden Globe nomination. Additionally, she was presented with the coveted Cesar D’Honneur for her body of work and the Golden Kamera Award from Germany’s Horzu Publications. MacDowell earned the title of #1 female box-office draw worldwide with her performances in the smash hit romantic comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral and the western Bad Girls with Drew Barrymore. She also starred in the holiday classic Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.
In other comedies MacDowell continued to partner with top leading men, including Gerard Depardieu in Green Card, for which she earned another Golden Globe nomination, Michael Keaton in Multiplicity, and John Travolta in Michael.
