This is what all the brilliant painters and sculptures are doing in the art world right now. Here's the scene.ĪNDIE MACDOWELL: (As Paula) Ah, Maddy, Alex - this is so exciting. Outside the RV, there's a lot of Paula's paintings. Alex discovers that her mother's home is now an Airbnb with strangers living there, and her mother is now living in an RV in the woods with her boyfriend, Basil, who's played by Toby Levins. And out of desperation, she asks her mother to watch her 3-year-old daughter, Maddy. In this scene from the first episode, Alex is going to a job interview with the cleaning agency Value Maids. It doesn't leave enough money to rent a home, so she and her daughter spend time in a shelter for women who've been the victims of domestic violence. But the cleaning agency she works for takes such a big percentage, Alex is basically getting minimum wage and having to pay for her own transportation and cleaning supplies. Alex, the daughter, has no job experience or special skills, so she takes the only job she's able to get - cleaning homes. Sometimes she reluctantly turns to her mother, Paula, Andie MacDowell's character, who appears to have an undiagnosed mental health disorder that leaves her in a pretty constant state of mania, talking non-stop about herself, her plans and her passion for her own art. Margaret Qualley plays Alex, a young mother of a 3-year-old child who leaves her abusive, alcoholic boyfriend and finds herself a single mother broke with no job, no home and no one she can really rely on for help. Let's start with "Maid." It's loosely based on a memoir by Stephanie Land. She's been a model and spokesperson for L'Oreal Cosmetics for about 35 years. That record has since been broken by "Squid Game." MacDowell co-starred in several films that hit the zeitgeist in the '90s, like "Sex, Lies, And Videotape," "Groundhog Day" and "Four Weddings And A Funeral." She has a dual career as an actor and a model. In its first few weeks, it broke the record set by "The Queen's Gambit" as the most-viewed limited series on Netflix. The series has apparently struck a nerve. My guest, Andie MacDowell, stars with her daughter Margaret Qualley in the new Netflix series "Maid." That's M-A-I-D.
