Early life and education

[edit]

Rinehart was born to plastic surgeon Gregory Rinehart and illustrator Nadine Sokol Rinehart.[2][3] Rinehart has an older brother, Ian. Rinehart started with ballet as an extra activity to do, but soon developed a love for it.[4] She then started taking voice and acting lessons. Rinehart's first role was in Rodger and Hammerstein's Carousel.[when?]

Rinehart attended Lindbergh High School in St. Louis, Missouri,[5] and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Barnard College, where she majored in sociology and minored in German.[6]

Career

[edit]

When she was 10 years old, Rinehart starred as Marta, the second youngest Von Trapp, in a professional production of the Sound of Music in St. Louis. This was a precursor to her second role in The Sound of Music in 2013, which was watched by 18 million people on NBC. It was the first full-scale musical made for TV and performed live since 1957.[7]

As part of the promotion for The Sound of Music Live! she performed one of the songs live in the 2013 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.[8] Rinehart also reunited with the other Von Trapp children in December 2014 at 54 Below for a concert to promote the re-airing of The Sound of Music Live!.[9] She has had several other film and television roles, and starred in the Justin Timberlake music video for the song "Mirrors".[10] She appeared as Eve in the film Noah, released on March 28, 2014.[11] In 2016, Rinehart appeared in episodes of Quantico and Blue Bloods, and 2017 in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and What Would You Do?.
