Biography
Looking at the latest photos of Canadian actress Mackenzie Davis (the artist’s height is 178 cm, weight is 61 kg), I remember another representative of this profession - Robin Wright.
Mackenzie Davis and Robin Wright
In addition to external similarities, both women have stubbornness, undoubted talent and devote a lot of time to their work. Mackenzie, unlike most of her colleagues, does not use Twitter or Instagram. The girl prefers to keep her personal life as far from the public as possible.
Personal life of Mackenzie Foy
Mackenzie Foy is still a very young girl, even if she has a boyfriend, the press doesn’t know anything about him yet. For several years, the actress has been interested in taekwondo. She also studies tap and ballet in a choreographic studio.
The young Twilight star has an affinity for animals. She is raising a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Fiafly. Mackenzie has a great relationship with her older brother Bailey. Foy never stops educating himself. The girl mastered playing the piano.
Childhood and youth
Mackenzie was born on April 1, 1987 in Vancouver, located on the west coast of Canada. The girl is the second long-awaited child in the family of a graphic designer and hairdresser.
When Mackenzie was little, her parents founded their own hair product company. The new brainchild took up a lot of the Davis couple's time, so the child was left to his own devices. This is how theater appeared in Mackenzie’s biography - the girl studied in a school club so as not to sit at home alone.
After graduating from high school, Davis moved to Montreal, where she attended McGill University. The girl chose English and gender studies as her main specialization. Having received a higher education, the future artist moved to New York to study acting with professionals.
Movies
The debut of the aspiring actress took place in 2011. The girl got a small role in the short film “Alex”. A year later, the actress was approved for a minor role in the film “Into the Trash.” While studying at The Neighborhood Playhouse School, Mackenzie met director Drake Dorius, who was surprised by the girl’s talent and invited Davis to play in his new film “Full Full.”
Mackenzie Davis in Friendship and No Sex?
The piercing performance of the aspiring actress attracted the attention of viewers, critics and agents. Soon Mackenzie had her own representative, and the career of the rising star began to develop faster.
In 2013, Davis auditioned for the film Friendship and No Sex? The actress played a girl named Nicole, who begins a relationship with the main character's friend. For her colorful portrayal, Mackenzie was nominated for the Canadian Ginny Award as Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
Lee Pace and Mackenzie Davis in Halt and Catch Fire
2014 brought the actress the role of Catherine Howe in the TV series Halt and Catch Fire. The girl was so happy that she was starring in Lee Pace and Scoot McNairy (the actors who played the main roles) that she could not go on set - the actress was constantly sick from excitement. The series lasted 4 seasons and was closed in 2017.
Davis does not limit himself in choosing characters. The actress's next project was the comedy horror film Hit and Run. The girl played the sexy vampire Petra, who, together with her friends, is trying to survive during the seizure of the Earth by aliens.
Mackenzie Davis in The Martian
The space theme was continued in McKenzie's next film. The actress played a NASA employee in the film “The Martian.” For this role, the film's director and actress were attacked by the Association of Afro-Asian Actors. According to activists, the image of Mindy Park (the role played by Davis) should have gone to some Asian actress, and not to a girl from Canada.
Mackenzie Davis in the series "Black Mirror"
The actress tried on an ambiguous image in the series “Black Mirror”. In 2020, the episode “San Junipero” aired, in which Davis played the role of a shy Yorkie who fell in love with her new friend. As with most episodes of the series, the plot turns out to be far from being as straightforward as the audience initially imagines.
Another memorable experience for Davis was being reincarnated as a prostitute from the future. In the film Blade Runner 2049, the actress played the girl Marietta, who changes her own appearance to suit the wishes of the client.
Filming in a box office blockbuster opened up the opportunity for the actress to choose the kind of work that interests Mackenzie herself - this is exactly what the actress wanted from the very beginning of building a career in acting.

It was a small episode, but the girl really enjoyed working on camera and decided to continue her acting career.
True, it is worth noting that Mackenzie Foy’s creative biography began with failure. Three years earlier, she was invited to the popular TV series “Charmed,” where the girl played in a short episode. It was eventually cut out in the final edit of the television project.
After “Happily Ever After,” the young beauty could be seen in the small role of Kate Erskine in the multi-part film “Remember What Happens.”
"Twilight"
In 2010, the producers of the famous series “Hawaii Five.0” invited the aspiring actress to play Lily Wilson, after which the girl was noticed by the creators of the cult vampire saga “Twilight” and immediately approved Mackenzie for the role of Renesmee.
Pictured: Foy in Twilight
Foy on the screen reincarnated as a girl who has unusual abilities. It is worth noting that Mackenzie had a lot of competitors for this film, but the producers chose her without hesitation.
Some journalists claim that Foy got into Twilight because her appearance has a lot in common with Robert Pattison and Kirsten Stewart, who are her on-screen parents in the film.
"Angel Face"
Despite her success in films, Mackenzie did not forget about continuing her modeling career. In particular, the girl advertised children's clothing. After "Twilight" in March 2013, Foy appeared on the cover of the popular publication L'Officiel.
Some journalists at that time wrote that Mackenzie looked like her peer Thylane Blondeau, but in fact the girls were completely different. The young Twilight star has had impeccable taste since childhood, which cannot be said about her “competitor.”
At that time, Foy firmly established the title of “angelic face.”
As a child, Mackenzie was a patient and obedient child. This also played a role in the development of her film career. The directors liked this obedient girl who fulfills all their requests on the set and does not act up.
Personal life
The actress honestly admits in an interview that she is not in a relationship. The girl would not mind starting a whirlwind romance, but she spends too much time at work and has not yet met the right person with whom she does not need to “play games.” Mackenzie claims that she wants a simple relationship without advances or manipulation.
Mackenzie Davis and her boyfriend
It is possible that quite recently the actress met the one she was looking for. In January 2020, Davis appeared on the red carpet of the 75th Golden Globes, accompanied by an unknown man. The couple tenderly held hands and did not leave each other all evening.
Description
Clematis "Bill Mackenzie" forms long shoots - up to 5 meters. This is the problem with all clematis of the Tangutica group - the famous variety “Aureolin” also has very long shoots.
Flowering begins in June and continues until cold weather. Flowering is very abundant: with good care: all shoots are covered with flowers, and later with fruits.
The flowers of clematis "Bill McKenzie" are medium in size, about 6...8 cm in diameter, with 4 sepals. The shape of the flower is at first bell-shaped, but over time the sepals diverge and the flower becomes almost flat. The length of the sepals is about 3.5, the width is about 2 cm, they are yellow. The filaments are red-brown, the anthers are beige.
The fruit is typical for clematis - a nut with a long stem. The nuts are collected into multi-nut fruits, which remain on the shoots until spring. Numerous fruits are also very decorative.
