The Resume

(August 4, 1958- )
Born in Los Angeles, California
Birth name was Kimberly Karath.
Portrayed Gretl von Trapp in 'The Sound of Music' (1965)
Also appeared in 'Spencer's Mountain' (1963), 'The Thrill of It All' (1963), 'Good Neighbor Sam' (1964) and 'Midnight Offerings' (1981)

Why she might be annoying:

She spells Kim with a y.
She threw up on Heather 'Louisa von Trapp' Menzies during the filming of 'The Sound of Music.'
She gained so much weight while filming 'The Sound of Music' that when the von Trapps escape over the mountains, Christopher Plummer could not carry her and a stand-in had to be used.

Why she might not be annoying:

She nearly drowned filming the scene where the rowboat capsizes in 'The Sound of Music' because she could not swim.
Julie Andrews was supposed to catch her when they fell in, but during filming they fell over opposite ends of the boat and a producer had to rescue Karath.
She remains close to the other actors who played the von Trapp children, with Menzies being godmother to her son.
Andrews said that while she was 'just a bit tad heavy' during filming, 'Today she is this amazing, gorgeous-looking mother.'
