Born in South Carolina, the 12-year-old moved to Los Angeles with her family when she was 4. Encouraged by a friend, her mother signed her up with a talent agency and she landed her very first commercial audition. Mackenzie also appeared in a number of other national television commercials for products such as Hormel Hot Dogs and Nike.
When she auditioned for the role of the youngest child, Ruthie, in 7th Heaven at the age of 5, Mackenzie impressed producer Aaron Spelling and others by walking up to each individual in the room, shaking hands and introducing herself. In addition to her role on the drama series, Mackenzie appeared in the independent film Gideon's Webb, starring Christopher Lambert, Charlton Heston and Shelley Winters.
Rosman manages to balance school with acting by doing her homework on set in between scenes. She loves all animals, especially horses, and spends as much spare time as she can at the stables. In fact, she often donates her spare time to various charity events involving animals.
Mackenzie enjoys reading, dancing, biking, skating, swimming, skiing and horseback riding. She resides in Los Angeles, Calif. with her family and a house full of animals |
