Jacqueline McKenzie Family – Parents

McKenzie is the daughter of John McKenzie, a barrister as well as writer and poet in spirit. Not much is known about her mother. She has an older sister by the name Jenny.

McKenzie attended Wenona School in North Sydney until 1983 when she moved to Pymble Ladies’ College, from where she graduated in 1985 with her Higher School Certificate. Known at school for her fine singing voice, McKenzie was cast as Nancy in the British drama film Oliver! then in Godspell (both a co-productions with Shore School) and later in Brigadoon (a co-production with Knox Grammar School), sharing the stage with Hugh Jackman, who was a student at Knox at the time.

McKenzie started as a promising young Australian actress. After gaining recognition in Australia for her acting, she moved to the US to try acting there too. She has finally achieved success with her current role starring in The 4400.

McKenzie was awarded “Best Newcomer Award” from the Sydney Theatre Critics Circle, which recognized her chameleon-like ability and her consistently high calibre work in theatre productions Child Dancing, The Master Builder, Twelfth Night and Rebecca. McKenzie starred alongside David Wenham, Geoffrey Rush and Richard Roxburgh in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, directed by Neil Armfield, for Belvoir St Theatre, Sydney. This sellout production was a critical, award-winning success with McKenzie’s performance “so exquisitely pitched it could have shattered glass”.

Jacqueline starred alongside Richard Roxburgh and Cate Blanchett in the Sydney Theatre Company production of The Present, by Anton Chekhov. Adapted by Andrew Upton, this production was directed by John Crowley. That production moved in 2016/17 to the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in Manhattan for the Broadway debut of McKenzie and the rest of the cast. She also starred as Orlando in the Sarah Ruhl play Orlando, based on the novel by Virginia Woolf (made famous by the 1992 film directed by Sally Potter and starring Tilda Swinton). Directed by Sarah Goodes, Orlando ran at the Sydney Opera House for The Sydney Theatre Company.

For four years, McKenzie was married to her high school sweetheart by the name Bill Walter, an orthopaedic surgeon. Later on, she also dated a theatre director from London by the name Simon McBurney.
