KYM KARATH

Kym Karath is an American actress. Kym became known when she portrayed the youngest of the von Trapp children, Gretl von Trapp, in the 1965 film, The Sound of Music. She then had appearances in episodes after that, such as Spencer’s Mountain, Lost in Space, Lassie, Family Affair, All My Children, as well as The Brady Bunch.

When it was time for a new portrayer on The Sound of Music, Kym, who was part of the original cast, stated something via Twitter about Carrie Underwood’s performance. The actress admitted that there were some painful scenes for her to watch, and she also further added that Carrie had a lovely voice, but her acting is wrong. However, whether the performance was good or bad, it still drew a million viewers, which is worth giving credit to. Karath has said she still is not fond of water after nearly drowning in the boat scene in The Sound of Music, as she could not swim.
