    • Trivia

She played Pattie-Cake Spencer to Veronica Cartwright's Becky Spencer, two of nine siblings, in Spencer's Mountain (1963). And she played Gretl Von Trapp to Angela Cartwright's Brigitta Von Trapp, two of seven siblings, in The Sound of Music (1965).
    • Quotes
      [2016, on Doris Day, who played her mother in The Thrill of It All (1963)] She put me completely at ease and made me feel safe. It made it very easy to pretend that she was my mother.
