According to Hal Porter, she made her first appearance on stage in a minor role in Pygmalion in 1914 at His Majesty's Theatre, London. She took over the role of Virginia Bullivant from Margery Maude in the play Grumpy later the same year. Her success was such that she became a leading player in the Cyril Maude Company, touring the United States in 1915. In 1916, she joined Herbert Beerbohm Tree's company on its tour of the United States, consistently taking the role of leading ladies and acting under the direction of the likes of David Belasco.[3] Mackay's US stage career included:

In 1934, after her minor role in the George Cukor film Sylvia Scarlett, apparently her only film, Mackay returned to Australia. Thereafter, she often performed with her English-born second husband Max Montesole.[8] Private lifeIn 1920 Mackay became the second wife of actor Lionel Atwill,[9] but they divorced in March 1928, after he had detectives raid an apartment on Manhattan's 68th Street in 1925, where Mackay was found with actor Max Montesole.[10] Mackay and Montesole married in 1933 and moved to Australia in late 1934 where they worked together, often on radio. Montesole died in Perth in 1942.[11] Mackay died in Hawthorn, Victoria in 1963.[3] References1. ^Government of Western Australia, Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Accessed 4 April 2018 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article78775939 |title=Inherits £10,000 |newspaper=The Daily News |volume=LXIII, |issue=21,961 |location=Western Australia |date=27 August 1945 |accessdate=4 April 2018 |page=14 (CITY FINAL) |via=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^1 2 3 Hal Porter (1965),Stars of Australian Stage and Screen. p 166.
