Andie MacDowell 'Shamed' Herself for Not Fitting Into a Dress — Then Realized 'I’m Too Old to Starve Myself for 5 Lbs.'

Andie MacDowell opened up to PEOPLE about coming to the realization that she shouldn’t give in to the pressure she feels by Hollywood beauty standards.

On Nov. 21, while attending L'Oréal Paris' Women of Worth Celebration, the actress, 66, opened up to PEOPLE about coming to the realization that she shouldn’t give in to expectations and the pressure she feels in Hollywood. MacDowell says she doesn’t have to “stuff” herself into clothes that don’t fit her and then beat herself up for not being able to wear it properly. “It's only when I come out here that I feel like the bar is raised so high and the expectations are beyond anything that anybody can accomplish unless you're completely devoted to being skinny.”
