Jacqueline McKenzie
Jacqueline McKenzie was born on October 24, 1967 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia as Jacqueline Susan McKenzie. She is an actress and director, known for Deep Blue Sea (1999), The 4400 (2004) and Romper Stomper (1992).
Born in Sydney, Australia, McKenzie attended Wenona School in North Sydney until 1983 then moved to Pymble Ladies’ College, where she graduated in 1985 with her Higher School Certificate. Known at school for her fine singing voice, McKenzie was cast as Nancy in 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.
Jacqueline 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. She has finally achieved success with her current role starring in The 4400.
Jacqueline 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”.
