Early Life
Garver was born in Long Beach, California, the daughter of Rosemary and Hayes Gilbert Garver. She was raised Roman Catholic and attended Catholic primary school. When she was 9, she tried her hand at acting and was cast in I'll Cry Tomorrow, but her most famous movie role was that of one of the young slaves in The Ten Commandments, and she has been acting ever since.
Between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s, the young actress worked with such actors as Marvin Miller, Chuck Connors, Peter Graves, Scott Forbes, Dan O'Herlihy, Kurt Russell, Fess Parker, Vince Edwards, Richard Chamberlain, Patty Duke, Anne Lockhart and James Franciscus. She worked with another Hollywood legend, Brian Keith, who starred with Garver in Family Affair.
Garver later moved to San Bernardino, where she entered Pacific High School in 1960, and remained there until graduation in 1964. After high school, she entered UCLA, majoring in speech and drama, until her graduation in 1968, while acting.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“This is one of the most serious intrusions into personal life that I can think of, and it’s as bad as anything I’ve ever experienced.”
—Ellen Wood Hall (b. 1945)
