AN actress, known for her roles in a string of ’90s films and TV shows, has resurfaced years after stepping out of the spotlight.
The actress – famously credited for her award-winning performance in the 1993 film Short Cuts, among other titles – was spotted on a rare outing on Tuesday.

Photos and video exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun captured Madeleine Stowe shopping with her daughter, May Theodora, who shared a strong resemblance to the movie star.
The duo was seen strolling through shops in Venice, California, dressed casually as they chatted amongst themselves.
Madeleine, 67, appeared fresh-faced, donning loosely fitted light blue jeans, a graphic t-shirt, and her long dark locks flowing straight down.
Her 29-year-old daughter had a similar style, sporting denim shorts, a baggy blue t-shirt, and her matching dark hair falling down her back.

OFF THE GRID
This was the first sighting of Madeleine in quite some time as she’s stepped back from the limelight.
According to IMDB, her last TV credit was in 2019, in which she starred in 10 episodes of the Netflix original series, Soundtrack, alongside Jenna Dewan, Paul James, and Callie Hernandez.
However, Madeleine’s name has been in the news in recent months, though it wasn’t for her work on-screen.
HOA WAR
In January 2025, the TV star stood up against the Homeowners Association after they planned to shut down the roads in her Memphis, Tennessee, neighborhood to ward off crime.
Madeleine spoke to NBC affiliate WMC to voice her anger over the move, claiming the HOA didn’t have the “right” to close down the streets paid for by taxpayers.
She’s also argued that the change wasn’t for the safety of the residents, but rather to turn the neighborhood into a gated community.
Her husband has been a supportive partner in the fight, and the pair have hired a lawyer to represent their neighbors, who are also not pleased with the new plan.
IMPRESSIVE CAREER
Before Madeleine ditched Hollywood for a quieter lifestyle in the South, she was a constant presence on screen.
Her film credits include Stakeout (1987), The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Unlawful Entry (1992), The General’s Daughter (1999), and We Were Soldiers (2002).
She also played the lead, alongside Emily VanCamp, in the ABC drama series Revenge during its four-season run from 2011 to 2015.
