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 related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
