Mackenzie Phillips has seen it all. She's been on top of the world, and she's been down and out. Now, she's returning to weekly television for the first time in nearly 20 years. Mackenzie will star in Disney Channel's newest series, 'So Weird,' a half-hour family drama which explores the world of paranormal phenomena through the eyes of a 14-year-old computer whiz with an obsession for all things strange. In the series, which TV Guide has named one of the 'top 10 new kids' shows,' Phillips plays Molly Phillips, a 1970's rock singer traveling the country on a comeback tour -- with her two kids in tow. The role is a far cry from anything Phillips has done in the past, but one she relishes with great enthusiasm. Mackenzie Phillips burst onto the acting scene at the age of twelve when she played Carol, the outrageously pushy kid sister Paul Le Mat is doomed to driving all night, in George Lucas’ critically-acclaimed film American Graffiti, which went on to become one of the most successful films in history and made Mackenzie an overnight star.
