As a child, she took singing and ballet lessons and was cast in the Broadway production of The Innocents. Her family soon moved to New York. She next worked with four of her siblings in the stage production of The Sound of Music which led to her break playing the title role of Annie from 1979 to 1980 on Broadway.
In 1979, Sarah made her film debut with Rich Kids. Her first starring role came in 1982 in the critically acclaimed television series Square Pegs. The show was cancelled by the network after one season, but Sarah managed to impress critics with her performance.
