IN AWE OF CHARLIZE

The 31-year-old Canadian actress plays a night nurse named Tully who’s hired to help exhausted mom-of-three Marlo (played by Charlize Theron) with her new baby, and the two become friends. Mackenzie says she loved working with the Oscar winner. “In the beginning I really didn’t know what she was going to be like and she was just so famous. But she really doesn’t have an ego. She has such a dedicated work ethic. I found her marvellous.”
