We know and love her for her work in films like Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Groundhog Day (1993), and series like Maid, but another area of on-screen work where Andie MacDowell has found great success is on the Hallmark Channel. The 66-year-old actress kicked off her Hallmark career back in 2013 when she starred in Cedar Cove, a show based on Debbie Macomber’s series of books, and since then, she’s brought her Hollywood flair to the Hallmark screen. 

Today, she’s thrilled to bring to life the character of Del Landry on Hallmark’s hit series The Way Home alongside Grey’s Anatomy’s Chyler Leigh, Sadie Laflamme-Snow and Evan Williams. I get so excited when I’m walking onto set,” she recently told PEOPLE. “It’s nice at my age and after all this time to have that feeling of joy. I’m very conscious of it, so I try to share it and tell everybody how lucky we are.”
