Red Carpet Awaits Young Richmond Actress

A young Richmond actress is getting her first taste of the red carpet in Los Angeles this Sunday.

Ten-year-old Mamie Laverock is one of the nominees in the 36th Young Artists Awards, the equivalent of the Golden Globes for young performers.

Mamie, who has a recurring role as Rosaleen Sullivan on the Hallmark Channel’s series When Calls the Heart, has been nominated for best performance in a TV series — recurring young actress 10 and under.

The show, about the life of a school teacher in a 1910 frontier town, is shot in and around Langley, wraps its second season at the end of this week. And Mamie, her mother, Nicole Rockmann, her sister, step father, and her father, will all be winging their way down to California for the awards show.

“That’s one of the best things about this whole event is that Mamie will be supported by her entire family,” said Rockmann.

One of Mamie’s co-stars, Maple Ridge’s Gracyn Shinyei, has also been nominated in the same category.
