Ann Carter

Biography

Ann Carter was an American actress who specialized in child roles and worked with many film stars during a career that lasted just over a decade. Born in Syracuse, New York, she was discovered at age four in Los Angeles and soon made her film debut with a one-line part in Last of the Duanes. She gained notice as Veronica Lake's daughter in I Married a Witch (1942) and had her first significant role in Commandos Strike at Dawn (1942) as a young Norwegian girl. Her most substantial part came as Amy Reed in The Curse of the Cat People (1944), and she also appeared in The North Star (1943), The Two Mrs. Carrolls (1947) as Humphrey Bogart's daughter, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949). She later did radio work on Lux Radio Theater. After leaving acting, she attended Occidental College and became a teacher. Carter died in 2014.

Did you know?!

First role
Someone at 20th Century-Fox spotted Ann Carter and suggested to her mom that she meet producer-director Herbert Brenon. With his help she auditioned for a one-line role in Fox's Last of the Duanes and won it.
A role that slipped away
Carter and her co-star Farley Granger were offered Goldwyn contracts after that movie. The option was never taken up, since Sam Goldwyn found Danny Kaye around then.
