The actress explained that she had met Murray that same day on the show. The actor appeared in the dressing room where Qualley was getting ready before the show and the two began chatting. "Turns out he lives in Charleston. And my mom lives in Charleston too," the actress explained. "He said to me, 'Your mom and I didn't get along very well doing that movie. She took forever to do her hair, she forgot her line once...' And I was like, 'Well,' I was like, 'Well,' I was like, 'Well.

"He's living in Charleston. She's living in Charleston," the actress insisted. "They have that kind of anger for each other, but maybe he wants to make amends... And they're both single," she continued. The actress gave Murray her phone number. "If he wants me to put him in touch with my mother... And if he has any sense, he'll want it... He'd be the luckiest man in the world," Qualley assures.

It's worth noting that MacDowell may not be thrilled with her daughter's proposal. The actress, who starred in romantic comedies like Four weddings and a funeral, stated last year on Drew Barrymore's show that she's been single for a while and isn't looking to start a new relationship. According to MacDowell, she has other people she loves around her who can take the place of a partner. "There's nothing wrong with being single. I have great friends and some friends I like too," the actress assures.
