Early Life & Acting Career

Born in Cheshire, England, Angela Cartwright moved to Los Angeles as a child and began acting at age three, playing Paul Newman's daughter in Somebody Up There Likes Me. By four, she landed the role of Linda Williams on The Danny Thomas Show (Make Room for Daddy), staying on as Danny’s on-screen daughter for seven seasons.

Angela rose to international fame as Brigitta von Trapp in The Sound of Music, one of the most beloved films of all time. She went on to star as the adventurous Penny Robinson in the cult-favorite sci-fi series Lost in Space, cementing her place in television history. Her extensive acting credits include numerous television shows, commercials, and films across decades.

Angela has co-authored several celebrated books that reflect her life in entertainment and her artistic pursuits:

The Sound of Music Family Scrapbook – a nostalgic collection of personal stories, rare photos, and memorabilia from the film.
Lost (and Found) in Space 2: Blast Off Into the Expanded Edition – a visual memoir with Bill Mumy, filled with behind-the-scenes memories and never-before-seen images.
On Purpose – a fantasy novel co-written with Mumy, featuring 27 of Angela’s illustrations and an original soundtrack by Bill.
Her award-winning coffee table book, Styling the Stars: Lost Treasures from the Twentieth Century Fox Archives, offers a rare, intimate look behind the scenes of Hollywood’s golden era.

She is also the author of mixed-media art books like Mixed Emulsions, In This House, and In This Garden, sharing her innovative altered photography techniques.

The Edelweiss Collection – a collaboration with artist Michael Michaud, inspired by The Sound of Music and infused with story and symbolism.
