Meet McKenzie Westmore, an American actress and singer who never fails to impress us with her versatility. Belonging to the renowned Westmore family, McKenzie has built a rock-solid reputation. As the passionate fans of the TV soap opera Passions, we all have admired, loved, and been inspired by the role she played - Sheridan Crane Lopez-Fitzgerald. The undeniable chemistry between her character and Galen Gering's Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald (popularly known by the name Shuis) still gives us the nostalgic sensation.
McKenzie has played some iconic roles in movies such as Star Trek: Insurrection. She also has made her guest appearances in the acclaimed sitcom Friends and the American crime drama Dexter.
Apart from her acting career, McKenzie is known as the host in the reality TV show Face Off. She owns a Beauty Brand, known as Westmore Beauty and became active in social media as a fitness enthusiast.
So, what are we waiting for? Let’s have a candid glimpse at McKenzie Westmore’s life through this exclusive interview.
D Fashion: What is your favourite role that you have ever played?
McKenzie: I will always have a love for Sheridan Crane in Passions.
D Fashion: What are your plans for the Westmore Beauty Products in the future?
McKenzie: We are getting ready to launch a few new products in the next couple of months on QVC.
D Fashion: Which is your favourite "Shuis" moment in the television soap opera Passions?
McKenzie: I always loved the past life storylines.
D Fashion: In 2019, you revealed that you have been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at the age of 10. What would be your message for the children with the same syndrome present today?
McKenzie: My message would be that though it seems very difficult at a young age to deal with something that is out of your control, to try to not let it bring you down. Thankfully we have much more research today and I am here to be a voice to help anyone dealing with Tourette’s syndrome to know that they are not alone.
D Fashion: What is your favourite Red Carpet outfit you wore?
McKenzie: My favourite would be from a Soap Opera Digest awards; it was a red crop blouse with a long red dress.
D Fashion: What are your hobbies and interests?
McKenzie: I'm an avid gym rat! I became a personal trainer years ago and almost went to the 2010 Olympics for Boxing so exercise is definitely top of the list. I’m also a singer with a love of Broadway and opera.
D Fashion: What is your favourite fashion trend of all time?
McKenzie: I love that we have come into a day and age where a natural and fuller figure on a woman is considered beautiful. When I was growing up, it was heroine chic with fake boobs and I’m so glad those days are mostly gone.
D Fashion: The reality television series Face Off has been in your life for eight years. In what way the show influenced your life?
McKenzie: Face Off really helped me to learn who I really am as Mckenzie Westmore. When I was on Passions, I started at the age of 20 and really never learned who I was because I played a character for so long.
D Fashion: Your family is serving Hollywood as the renowned make-up artists for the past four generations. What is your favourite make-up effect done by your family members?
McKenzie: I have to say all of the aliens my dad created for Star Trek: The Next Generation are on the top of my list.
D Fashion: What would be your advice to today’s generation in terms of fitness and health?
McKenzie: My best advice would be, don’t let your age fool you. I see far too many 20-year-olds thinking they will be in shape for the rest of their lives but then come 30-35 they fall apart because they did not set up proper habits early on.
