Andie MacDowell, 64, Kate Moss, 48, and Blythe Danner, 79, are among the number whose children have followed in their footsteps, and have since had the joy of working alongside them. Andie summed up the experience best when, after working with her youngest daughter Margaret Qualley, 28, on the Netflix series Maid, she shared “'It was magical beyond belief.” For Demi Moore, 60, and her daughters Rumer, 34, Tallulah, 28, and Scout Willis, 31, their strong bond is what pulled them through after their…

By the time this magazine is in your hands (and mine!), we will all have hopefully enjoyed some sunshine, and time with family and friends. It’s an issue we finish working on before we head away on holiday and to get in the spirit, we chat with local celebrities, including our beautiful cover star Wendy Petrie, about how they will make the most of their downtime. This week, we also feature a special summer reading section for you to enjoy over the break. It includes an extract from a book called Letter to My Younger Self written by Dolly Parton, Gurinder Chadha and Rosamund Pike.
