Sound of Music - Charmian Carr

Although she played a 16 year old in "The Sound of Music," Charmian Carr was, in fact, much older and she was attending college part-time and working when she got the part. Carr grew up in a family of performers, with an actress mother, a musician father and siblings with acting careers.

Carr continued to act for two years after "The Sound of Music" was released, but then she married and left acting to raise her two daughters. She now runs her own interior decorating company.
