Sound of Music - Angela Cartwright

Even though she was only 11 when she appeared in "The Sound of Music" as Brigitta von Trapp, Angela Cartwright was already an established television actress. She began her acting career at the age of three and by the age of five she had her first major recurring role on a television series. For seven years, Cartwright played the adorable young daughter on the Danny Thomas hit comedy series, "Make Room for Daddy."

After "The Sound of Music," Cartwright returned to television with a three year run on the series, "Lost in Space." She left acting shortly after the end of the series and she became a photographer and artist. Today, Cartwright runs her own studio in California.
