[edit] Biography[1]

Turner grew up in a Los Angeles Suburb as the third daughter of Canadian parents. Her older sisters (Michele Turner and Patricia Turner) and younger brother (Kel) were also active in television and commercials, and from a young age Debbie performed on the small screen. She left show business shortly after the release of her feature film debut, The Sound of Music (1965), to finish school and launch her own business ventures. She pursued interior design in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, California, eventually opening her floral and interior design company "Debbie Turner Originals" in 1989.

Turner relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1985. She raised four daughters with her husband Rick and regularly visits with her Sound of Music family.
