THE SOUND OF MUSIC KIDS TODAY. SO PRECIOUS

Posted on 10:56 AM by dvdsvdsdv

The Von Trapp children in 1965

How many of you ever wondered about the kids from THE SOUND OF MUSIC? This movie is one of the best movies ever made and it's my all-time favourite movie. It was filmed in 1964 and released in 1965. It won FIVE Oscars, including best picture. The movie is full of magic, beautiful songs, love, great acting, and fairytale. Really beautiful!

For years I wondered about those SEVEN cute and adorable Von Trapp children. 42 years later, are they all still alive? What are they doing now? Where are they? I bet some of you don't even know their real names.

Well, I went digging to find out about the children, they are not children anymore, and this is what I found out about them.

I present to you, the Von Trapp children...as they are today!


Gretl, Martha, Brigitta, Kurt, Louisa, Friedrich, Leisl, Maria and Captain Von Trapp


The Von Trapp children in 2004


Liesl Von Trapp 1964 (Charmian Carr)


Charmian Carr in 2004 (LIESL)

She wrote a book titled "Forever, Liesl" about her experiences making the film which is available from Penguin Putnam Books. Her newest book is "Letters to Liesl".

Television audiences remember Charmian when she starred with Anthony Perkins in the John Houseman/Stephen Sondheim production of "Evening Primrose." Charmian found herself involved in two careers. She spent many years acting in national commercials while at the same time developing a highly successful Interior Design business.
Charmian's interests include skiing, aerobics, dance, biking, and she is often called upon to perform "Sixteen Going on Seventeen."
