Salmont died of pneumonia and cystic fibrosis on Christmas 2008. In 2005, Salmont reappeared, post-transplant, on 7th Heaven (the episode entitled "X-Mas"), to describe the new life she'd been given. 7th Heaven produced a special episode about cystic fibrosis titled "Back in the Saddle" which featured Salmont as herself, and Rosman and Salmont rode horses together, as they did at home. Both girls were featured in Teen People's "20 Teens Who Will Change the World". Mackenzie's stepsister, Katelyn Salmont, lived with cystic fibrosis and underwent a successful double lung transplant in late 2005, her father Randy donating one organ. Rosman is an active supporter of fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and wishes to educate the public about the need for organ donation. She owns many horses and is a competitive equestrienne show jumper and rides her horse Mentos Junior in jumping competitions. Outside of acting, Rosman enjoys spending time with animals. Rosman posed for Maxim magazine in September 2013. In 2013, she co-starred in the 2013 horror film Beneath, and in the 2013 television film Ghost Shark. Rosman appeared in four episodes of Brenda Hampton's teen drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager playing Zoe, a student at Grant High School who sleeps with Ricky to get back at Adrian for having sex with Zoe's boyfriend Mac. She also played Jill in the 2008 horror film, Fading of the Cries. Rosman played the role of Loreli in the 2009 film The Tomb, loosely based on " Ligeia" by Edgar Allan Poe, alongside Wes Bentley and Kaitlin Doubleday. She has appeared in numerous television commercials starting at age four including a Tuff's Diaper commercial and a Nike shoe commercial. In addition to her role on 7th Heaven, Rosman appeared in the independent film Gideon, starring Christopher Lambert, Charlton Heston and Shelley Winters. In 1996, Rosman was cast in the role of Ruthie Camden on 7th Heaven after personally greeting each person in the room with a handshake during her audition.
