Hey, at least this on wasn't haunted. Since she was used to starring in supernatural stories on the big screen, it only made sense that she followed The Haunting Hour with The Conjuring in There, she was able to act alongside other stars her age for the very first time, including Joey King, with whom she quickly became close friends.
At a time when Mackenzie Foy was beginning to get her voice in the film business, she began to pursue a voiceover career, too. She lent her acting chops to animated movies, including the award-winning The Little Prince and the classic story The Boxcar Children. While recording the latter, she even got to star alongside her good friend Joey King once again.
At this point, Foy had her fair share of acting experience, but that's not to say that jumping into the world of animation was an easy transition for the young star. Though she was used to acting in front of a green screen — something Foy had to do often while filming the Twilight saga — walking into a room and not having a set built around you wasn't easy at first for Foy.
However, just like any other incredibly talented actress, she found a way to make it work. As Mackenzie Foy's dream of starring in major motion pictures was coming true, there was still something else she was pretty passionate about off-screen.
It's not just a hobby for her, either. Behind-the-scenes, Foy has worked her way up to becoming a second degree black belt. Initially, martial arts was a way for Foy to bond with her brother when she was only 8 years old. As an emerging actress, her career was still ever-evolving, and taekwondo was about to help her broaden the types of the roles she was getting.
Mackenzie Foy's career took another star turn when she landed a role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar in Many more surprises came for the young movie star, too. Her role as Murph in the sci-fi screenplay led her to receiving her first major award — the Saturn Award for best performance by a young actor. She was also nominated for a Critics' Choice Award and a Teen Choice Award, solidifying not only this young star fanbase, but also that of her peers and colleagues.
Although Foy probably got a lot of her Twi-hard fans to theaters to see Interstellar , that was where the similarities between the films ended. Though a lot of the film took place in outer space, many of the sets were very real — like the dust storm that she and Matthew McConaughey weathered — unlike the green screens that were used during many scenes of Breaking Dawn.
When Mackenzie Foy turned 17 years old, she achieved something that many girls can only dream of: becoming a Disney princess. As if working on a Disney movie wasn't magical enough, Foy also got a Barbie doll created after her character. Obviously, it looked a lot like her.
Foy's character, however, wasn't like any other princess turned kids' toy. Foy was required to do all sorts of stunts and fight scenes while playing Clara. That's when her favorite pastime, taekwondo, truly came in handy. Do you want to kick somebody? For a few months, Foy even spent time training with stunt horses in order to perfect her most intense scenes, which was something that would also come in handy quickly hereafter. Having experience riding horses really helped Mackenzie Foy out when it came to being cast in her second Disney movie, 's Black Beauty.
The studio seemed to have planned it all perfectly, too. To prep for production, she only had to train for two weeks. Foy was pretty familiar with the classic story, too, so she knew exactly what to do when filming began.
She really does look like a kid — well, now a teenager — borne of RPattz and K-Stew, had their love come to pass forever off-screen as well as on; how do casting directors always seem to know just how their child starlets will grow up?!
