One Day at a Time

The 48-year-old former child star resurfaced at a Mother's Day event in L.A. on Tuesday, looking rosy.
Mackenzie Phillips
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.

31. Correction: Mackenzie claims she's been clean and sober since 1992.

How many teeth are left in her mouth? Just wondering.

Her father was a neglectful parent, but the family courts seldom target rich white people. She could have benefitted from court intervention when she was a minor. I blame John Phillips.

32. Doesn't look like her face cleared up much.

33. If anyone needed proof that living in the fast lane ages you, it's in this picture of MacKenzie. Some of these young stars following in MacKenzie's path in the fast lane should be forced to look at this.

34. Her looks are a sad commentary on how years of drug abuse and chain smoking will age a person. However, it's commendable that she's been able to stay clean. Good for her.

36. 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.

38. 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.

42. 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.

44. 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.
