ANN CARTER BIOGRAPHY

Ann Carter was born on 16 June 1936 in Syracuse, New York.

She moved to California with her parents when she was three years old.

One of their neighbors, a studio employee, introduced Ann to producer/director Herbert Brenon, who coached her in acting and eventually helped her land a role in The Last of the Duanes in 1941.

When she was five years old, she appeared very briefly in I Married a Witch as the daughter of Wallace Wooley (Fredric March) and Jennifer the witch (Veronica Lake) – the resemblance to Lake was so remarkable that many people in Hollywood took notice, and just two short years later she was portraying Amy Reed, the lead role in The Curse of the Cat People.

A number of other small roles followed in films such as And Now Tomorrow, Song of Love, Ruthless and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. Some of her appearances went surprisingly uncredited, although most of those were admittedly bit parts. Carter’s other substantial high-profile role was as daughter to Humphrey Bogart in The Two Mrs. Carrolls for which she won the Critics Award for Top Juvenile Performance at age ten. Her last film appearance was in The Member of the Wedding in 1952 at age 16.

Ann is married and lives in Washington state. This website hopes to obtain an interview soon.
