The ‘Happiest Season’ actress reveals in a talk show interview that her writer/director son, Charlie McDowell, told family members exactly when and how he would be popping the question.
AceShowbiz -Actress Mary Steenburgen was a nervous wreck the day her son asked Lily Collins to be his wife – and so relieved when the “Emily In Paris” star said yes.
Writer/director Charlie McDowell, whose parents are Mary and British acting veteran Malcolm McDowell, decided to propose to Phil Collins‘ actress daughter during a road trip through New Mexico after telling his family members exactly when and how he would be popping the question.
“We knew what day it (the proposal) was going to be and what time it was going to be,” Steenburgen told Kelly Clarkson on her U.S. daytime talk show. “They (Charlie and Lily) were on a trip in New Mexico and we were all sort of holding our breath, and so excited when he sent the video to all of us that she said yes and they were engaged (sic).”
