Garth was diagnosed with a mitral valve prolapse and a leaky heart valve when she was 30 years old, a condition she said would require lifelong care. In 2009, she revealed her diagnosis. “It’s something that could get more complicated down the road or it could not,” she said. “People have undergone valve replacements and things like that… but the point is that I’m prepared.” She began suffering from anxiety at the age of 19, writing in her biography, “I wouldn’t say I ever went over the line into full-blown agoraphobia, but I would say I definitely came close.”
Early Life
Garth was born to John and Carolyn Garth in Urbana, Illinois. Garth grew up on a 25-acre horse ranch between Sadorus and Arcola, Illinois, as the youngest of seven children (but their only kid together).
The family lived in Tuscola, Illinois for a while, but when Garth was about 13 years old, they moved to Glendale, Arizona. Randy James, a Hollywood scout and manager, noticed her in a local talent competition while she was studying dance and modeling.
