Kym Karath began her acting career at the age of 3, appearing in Spencer's Mountain (1963) with Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara, The Thrill of It All (1963) with Doris Day and James Garner, and Good Neighbor Sam (1964) with Jack Lemmon, before winning the role of "Gretl", the youngest Von Trapp daughter. After The Sound of Music (1965), Kym continued acting, appearing over the years in such television shows as Dr. Kildare (1961), Lassie (1954), My Three Sons (1960), Lost in Space (1965), Family Affair (1966) and The Brady Bunch (1969), before taking time off to pursue her education. Graduating from USC with her degree in Humanities, Kym made television appearances in such shows as Archie Bunker's Place (1979), and Midnight Offerings (1981), before moving to Paris to model and study art history. After returning to the U.S., Kym appeared in All My Children (1970) and various print ads before taking time off to raise her son, Eric. She is now resuming her acting career in Los Angeles, CA.

    • Trivia
      Heather Menzies-Urich, her co-star in The Sound of Music (1965), eventually was godmother to her son. They had become close friends despite the fact that while filming that movie's rowboat scene, Kym swallowed too much water and threw up on Heather.
    • Quotes
      [2016, on Doris Day, who played her mother in The Thrill of It All (1963)] She put me completely at ease and made me feel safe. It made it very easy to pretend that she was my mother.
