Biography:Though she was best known as a young TV star, "Angela Cartwright" also appeared in perennial movie musical favorite "The Sound of Music" (1965). Born in England, Cartwright's family moved to Los Angeles when she was three. Cartwright soon made her film debut, at the ripe old age of three and a half, in "Somebody Up There Likes Me" (1956). Cast in 1957 as stepdaughter Linda on "Danny Thomas"' TV hit Make Room for Daddy, retitled "The Danny Thomas Show", Cartwright stayed with the series until it ended in 1964. It was Cartwright's two mid-'60s credits, though, that captured the most devoted fans. As "The Sound of Music"'s pretty Brigitta Von Trapp, Cartwright became one of the seven children taught to sing and love life by buoyant nun/stepmother "Julie Andrews". With its "Rodgers & Hammerstein" songs and unbridled sentiment, "The Sound of Music" broke box office records, becoming a beloved classic.... Full Biography
