KYM KARATH | 63

Kym Karath’s claim to fame was in The Sound of Music when she portrayed Gretl, the youngest of the Von Trapp children. Most of her acting gig was as a child star, and she appeared in Spencer’s Mountain when she was just three years old. She retired early from the show business to focus on her studies. She holds a degree in humanities from the University of Southern California, and she later moved to Paris to study art history. Here’s a trivia: Karath almost drowned in the boat scene while filming The Sound of Music as she didn’t know how to swim back then.

Kim Karath is now pushing 62 and into her retirement years. She has now been on almost a 30-year hiatus from show business. This leads us to question if she’s had a few savings that could secure her future without any Hollywood project. Regardless of her current pursuits, we wish the Sound of Music star a long and happy retirement ahead.
