27!!Tropes associated with this actress's works:
28
29* TheCastShowoff: In ''Film/ThatAwkwardMoment'', Mackenzie exhibits her talents as a singer in one scene.
30* DyeHard: Mackenzie's hair color would alternate between blonde and brunette, especially on ''Series/HaltAndCatchFire''.
31* StarMakingRole: Her first lead role was as Cameron Howe in ''Series/HaltAndCatchFire''.
32* {{Typecasting}}: Between ''Series/HaltAndCatchFire'', ''Series/BlackMirror'', ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' and ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'', it seems like most of her major roles are in stories that involve high technology in some way. ''Halt And Catch Fire'' also seems to have turned her into a go-to actress for [[TheEighties 1980s]] legacy projects, since her ''Black Mirror'' episode takes place in that decade (sort of) and ''Blade Runner 2049'' and ''Terminator: Dark Fate'' are sequels to two of the most iconic 80s ScienceFiction films.
