Sound of Music - Kym Karath

Kym Karath played Gretl, the youngest of the von Trapp children, in the film version of "The Sound of Music." Although she was only seven at the time the film was made, Kym was already an experienced movie star who had completed three previous films, her first one at the age of three.

After "The Sound of Music," Kym worked on television shows until she quit show business to pursue a university degree in humanities at USC. A few years later, she moved to France to study art history. Kym married in France in 1985 and she had a son in 1991. She now lives in New York and she recently returned to acting.
