Jessica Biel
Played by actress Jessica Biel, Mary Anne Camden-Rivera is a fictional character from the longtime WB Television Network/CW Television Network drama 7th Heaven. Born in 1982, Mary is the oldest daughter of seven children born to Eric and Annie Camden, growing up in fictional Glen Oak, California.
By the time she was 14, Mary was an aspiring athlete with an immense love for basketball. As the months progressed, she seemed to rise in both ability and confidence until an accident that took place before the end of her freshman year in which she was hit by a car, critically injuring her knee. She spent months of recuperation afterwards and seemed to be on the right track for the most part. She had a series of different boyfriends and began dating Wilson West, a man with a child from a previous relationship, who would become a more serious person in her life.
Mary had always seemed to be more level-headed and practical than Lucy, but had an adventurous side which would lead to frustrations with her sister. During the next two years Mary would deal with mature themes involving gossip, teen pregnancy, self-mutilation, premarital sex, homelessness, and alcoholism, among others. By Season 4, problems in different subjects like math caused the basketball coach to impose a lockout on her and the remainder of the team. After a secret meeting, the team decided to enact their frustrations by vandalizing the school gym, something that got all of them caught and arrested, Mary included.
Through a special program for first offenders, Mary was able to evade serious punishment by doing community service, which was where she met Robbie Palmer, the second serious boyfriend she would have after breaking up with Wilson in season two.
