Ruthie Camden from “7th Heaven” now tries to perform real-life miracles as the chairman of CureFinds.
When the series ended in 2007, Mackenzie Rosman got some small parts in “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and “Ghost Shark” but had a hard time finding her next big role. When she turned 18, she decided that maybe posing for Maxim magazine would help bring her back into the public eye and show everyone that she was not a little girl anymore.
When that attempt failed, she quit show business and began working for the non-profit CureFinds which focuses on support and research for cystic fibrosis.
