Andie MacDowell as Rita in “Groundhog Day” (1993)
Lovely Rita. With her heart of gold and complete disinterest in Phil (played by Bill Murray), he falls hard for her— so much so that he endures her stinging slap again and again in his (many) attempts to woo her. In his quest to fake a perfect match though, Phil slowly becomes it. Unbeknownst to the final-scenario-Rita, Phil is a changed man.

Andie MacDowell—Now
Gorgeous Andie MacDowell continues to defy aging and doesn’t look much older today than she did as Rita 20 years ago! The model-actress starred in the hit comedy “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” just following “Groundhog Day,” and hasn’t slowed down since. One of her more recent roles was as Gray Chandler Murray in the TV series “Jane by Design.”

Larry, Rita’s production assistant and cameraman, provides the sarcastic quips to Phil’s dry cynicism. But even Larry warms up to Phil in the end, mid-blizzard and all.

Willie Garson as Phil’s Assistant Kenny in “Groundhog Day” (1993)
Willie Garson has a brief role as Kenny, Phil’s assistant. Kenny helps Phil with his jacket and says there’s no need to rush back, he’s got it covered if Phil wants to stay the weekend. To which Phil replies, “oh come on, like I wanna stay an extra second in Punxsutawney? Please.” If only he knew.
