## Early life and education

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.

## Career

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]
