Early life and career [edit]
Angela Cartwright was born in Altrincham, Cheshire, England. She made her first film appearance at three years old as Paul Newman's daughter in Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956), and appeared with Sidney Poitier in Something of Value (1957). After moving to the US, Cartwright appeared for seven seasons in the TV series Make Room For Daddy. While there, she had wonderful on- and off-screen relationships with Danny Thomas and Marjorie Lord.[citation needed] She was reunited with both Thomas and Lord for the 1970 remake, Make Room For Granddaddy. After the series was canceled, Cartwright remained on good terms with Thomas until his death.
She played Penny Robinson opposite TV veterans Guy Williams, June Lockhart and Jonathan Harris in the hit TV series Lost in Space (1965–1968). She made appearances on several TV shows including My Three Sons, Adam-12, and The Love Boat.
She also appeared in several films, most notably in the role of Brigitta von Trapp in The Sound of Music (1965). She later appeared in Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979), directed by Lost in Space producer Irwin Allen. She was given a small speaking role in the 1998 Lost in Space theatrical remake. She was in the television movies Scout's Honour (1980) and High School U.S.A. (1983).
Cartwright has also appeared in the theatre and TV commercials. She was one of the first stars to take advantage of the World Wide Web and has had her own website for many years. She has published one successful book and will soon publish another one co-written with Bill Mumy, her co-star from Lost in Space.
Personal life [edit]
Cartwright married Steve Gullion in 1976 and has two children, Jesse and Rebecca Gullion. She has been a photographer for 30 years. Her fine art is displayed at her studio in Studio City, Los Angeles.[1]
