    The Sound of Music child star Angela Cartwright leads an entirely different life away from Hollywood , 59 years on after starring in the iconic movie.

    In the classic 1965 musical romance The Sound of Music, Angela took on the role of Brigitta von Trapp. In the acclaimed film, Brigitta starred as the intelligent nine-year-old who often had no filter and was ruthlessly honest even at times when others found it inappropriate. The movie was a box office success and went on to win five Academy Awards and became the highest-grossing film of all time.

    After Angela's famous appearance in the film she went on to star in a number of movies and television shows throughout her youth. Some of her most well-known roles included those in The Danny Thomas Show, Lost in Space, High School USA, Make Room for Granddaddy, and many others. But after her iconic run as an actress, Angela quit Hollywood and followed her own passions.
