Mackenzie Ryann Rosman (born December 28, 1989 in Charleston, South
Carolina) is an American actress. She is most famous for her role as Ruthie
Camden on The WB's 7th Heaven.
In 1996, she got the part of Ruthie Camden on 7th Heaven, which she still
plays today, in its tenth season. In addition to her role on the drama
series, Rosman appeared in the independent film Gideon, starring Christopher

Her parents are divorced, and she resides in Los Angeles with her mother,
step-father, younger brother (by three years) Chandler and older step-sister
Katelyn. She is an active supporter for fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation and wishes to help educate the public about the need for organ
donation. Her stepsister, Katelyn, who suffers from CF, recently underwent a
completely successful double lung transplant. Rosman and her family are
grateful that 7th Heaven, in a past season, was able to produce an episode
about CF, in which Katelyn was able to play herself.
Her greatest passion, outside of acting, is animals, especially horses. She
is a competitive equestrian show jumper, and recently competed in Belgium in
her first international show. She and her family reside on a ranch outside
of Los Angeles, where she keeps horses, dogs, cats, chickens and goats. |
