McKenzie Westmore Net Worth $2 Million
McKenzie was the third child to make up artists Michael Westmore and his wife Marion. When she was only three years old, Robert De Niro was in the Westmore family house for some make-up work for the film Raging Bull, and decided to cast McKenzie and his young daughter, so McKenzie made her debut in the Oscar-winning film, which besides De Niro, starred also Cathy Moriarty and Joe Pesci. As she was growing up, McKenzie became more and more focused on acting, and even matriculated from the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, but majored in music. Nevertheless, she returned to acting in the mid- ‘90s with a small role in “Weird Science” (1996), and then two years later had a minor role in the film “Star Trek: Insurrection” (1998). In 1999 she was selected for the role of Sheridan Crane in the soap opera “Passions”, and stayed in the show until its end in 2008, forming a supercouple with Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, a character from the show played by Galen Gering. The two became known as “Shuis”, because of their names. The particular role won her a Soap Opera Digest Award, and two Daytime Emmy Award nomination, but what is more important, it increased McKenzie’s net worth to a large degree.
After the series ended, she was cast in the role of Dr. Riley Sinclair in another soap opera, “All My Children”, playing in it until 2009. Two years later she was seen in the horror “Vile”, while her last known pure acting role was as Kimberly Stewart in the mystery thriller “Dose of Reality” in 2013.
Since 2011 she has been hosting the reality competition show “Face Off”, in which make-up artists compete for a reward of $100,000.
Regarding her personal life, McKenzie has been married to production designer Patrick Tatopoulos, who was a judge in “Face Off”, since 2015. Previously, she was married to singer Keith Volpone from 2002 to 2011; the couple has a son together.
