of dementia.
In
a note on her official
website, a man identified as Steve Hughes announced that Carr had
died.
"My
name is Steve Hughes, and my Company has been managing Charmian Carr's website
for many, many years," he wrote. "Me and my family are so sad to have
to post this message and will miss her dearly... We had the gracious
opportunity to stay at Charmian Carr's house several times while we worked on
different projects for her. And we traveled to New York with her on another
occasion. She was such a nice, cheerful person. We always LOVED, The Sound of
Music, and still do."
Carr married Jay Brent in 1967 and decided to
give up acting to focus on her two daughters Jennifer and Emily. "It was a
decision she never regretted," according to Hughes.
Once

Charmian Carr Design. Michael Jackson became a client and the two shared a
special friendship, according to her website.
