The 48-year-old former child star resurfaced at a Mother's Day event in L.A. on Tuesday, looking rosy.
Mackenzie is the daughter of Mamas and the Papas singer John Phillips and the half-sister of Chynna and Bijou Phillips.
In 1980, Mackenzie was fired from "One Day at a Time" and went to rehab. She returned to the series a year later. In 1983, one of the show's producers asked Phillips to take a drug test, but she refused and once again left the series. Mackenzie has been clean and sober since 1992 -- until August 27, 2008 when she was busted at LAX with heroin and cocaine.

Considering her past history, she looks pretty good. Not everyone in Hollywood or the movies is drop dead fake gorgous. She never was, perhaps that drove her addictions, Good thing there wasn't a TMZ back then or she would have offed herself.
I've seen her in past interviews about her past, she was gutsy & honest.. I've known many none famous people with that same problem who are neither. Most of us have no clue what it takes to get through that, so for those who believe in passing faults judgment upon others, at least take the time to get your facts straight before you do it.. but maybe that take true intellectual ability those who do it lack.
What on earth is wrong with the negative losers that post nasty snide comments on this forum? She looks beautiful for 48, I'd hate to see what the knockers on this site look like.
Hey that's the chick from the early proactiv solution commercials! LMFAO!
McKenzie Phillips was always known for being a tad bit 'less than attractive' even dating back to One Day At A Time, but seriously folks she looks a lot less scary now than she did back then. With her history of drugs and alcohol I commend her for making a come back and even being alive...so give the gal a break. At least she's not a statistic and you got to hand it to her.
Considering her past heavy drug use, I think she looks great! And we never seem to hear a peep about her "falling off the wagon" so to speak. Way to go, Mackenzie ... I'm proud of you. Keep staying strong and drug-free.
Her father showed her how to shoot up when she was 18, and not long after she was aggressively seduced by Mick Jagger, visiting in the Phillips home, who told her, "I've been waiting to do this since you were ten years old."
OMG, MacKenzie Phillips let drugs and booze, make an old lady out of her. I'm going to be 80, next April and I know, I look better than MacKenzie. Like Mama, like daughter, eh, MacKenzie? Drugs filled the vacuum of unhappiness, I suppose, but it sure did a 180 turn from the pretty MacKenzie Phillips, I used to watch on, One Day At A Time.
