Kym Karath (Gretl)
Anthea Kym Karath is an American actress, who took on the part of Gretl von Trapp, the youngest of the von Trapp children on Sound of Music (1965). She later appeared in episodes of Family Affair, The Brady Bunch, Lost in Space, as well as All My Children, Lassie, and Spencer’s Mountain.
When Carrie Underwood took on Sound of Music, Kym entered the famous fray/debate, admitting via Twitter, “Must admit some scenes are actually painful to watch.” She would know, after her own role on the original. She further explained: “She is lovely her voice is beautiful but acting is wrong.” Still, good or bad, the special drew 18.5 million viewers.
