Ann Carter (June 16, 1936 â€" January 27, 2014) was an American child
actress, who worked with dozens of film stars, compiling an
"unimaginably distinguished résumé" despite an acting career which
lasted only slightly more than a decade. She is best known for her
starring role as Amy Reed in the film The Curse of the Cat People
(1944), and also acted alongside stars including Humphrey Bogart,
Katharine Hepburn, Bing Crosby, Fredric March, and Barbara Stanwyck
among others.Carter was born in Syracuse, New York. At the age of
three she moved with her mother Nancy to Palm Springs, California for
the benefit of Nancy's health. Her father, Bert Carter, was an
executive with the Dodge division of Chrysler Corporation (working
there for 38 years) and commuted back and forth between California and
Detroit "where he was working for Chrysler on defense-related
projects." After briefly residing with her maternal Aunt Stell (short
for Estelle) and Uncle Jack in Glendale, California, on Idlewood Road,
Carter and her mother moved "to a place near Olympic and Robertson in
West Los Angeles, with [her father] there again part-time."Carter's
mother "had always been very interested in the theater," but was
disallowed from pursuing her own career by her own father, Ann's
grandfather. According to her mother, Ann was discovered at the age of
four while she was living in Los Angeles. As she and her mother were
riding on a bus, Carter explains: Ann Carter Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
