Before Netflix & YouTube: The Child Stars Who Lit Up The Screens Of Yesteryear

Angela Cartwright

Angela Cartwright’s Hollywood adventure began at an impressive age: three. In 1956, she landed her first film role alongside Paul Newman. Angela went on to win hearts on “The Danny Thomas Show” for seven seasons before joining the cast of the iconic “The Sound of Music.”

But it was her role as Penny Robinson in “Lost in Space” (1965) that truly cemented her status as a child star. She’s still active in acting, even making a special appearance in the 2018 Netflix revival of “Lost in Space,” proving a true star never fades completely.
