Mehso-so

Every time she mentioned a scene or some dialogue or a song, I was able to easily picture it in my head. So it was fun to learn of so much that happened behind the scenes. At 21, but playing one of the children, Charmian was sort of between the adult and child actors on the set. She was primarily very positive with things she said about the people and the making of the movie. But there were a few little things. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin But I really think she is sincere in how much making the movie meant to her. So I did learn a few things about Christopher Plummer (Chris) and Julie Andrews, as well. There was a chapter near the end that told more of the actual von Trapp family and their real story, since so much of the movie was fictionalized; that was very interesting.

If you love #TheSoundOfMusic, you should definitely read Charmian Carr's lovely memoir about playing Liesl! Her stories focus both on the making of the film, and everything that came next. I particularly love her focus on her relationships with her on-screen siblings; she includes a letter from Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich) that I find so wonderfully sweet. As a life-long SOM fan, this is a book I've returned to many times! #MoviesInApril

Three #marvelousmemoirs that I realized I had. I had to read Forever Liesl because I love ❤ The Sound of Music. I have read almost all of Jen Lancaster's books, and I found Lauren Graham's book at the library yesterday.

I've always loved The Sound of Music 🎶 and especially Liesl. Charmian Carr wrote a very sweet book about her time making the movie, and the way it impacted her life. I don't think many people are aware that she passed away a few months ago, it was not well publicized. I was very saddened to hear of her passing. I would highly recommend this book to fans of the movie. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm a "Sound of Music" movie groupie, so I'm choosing the 7 Von Trapp kids as my #favsiblings. I've read books on both the "real" and "celluloid" siblings and this one by eldest movie daughter Liesl is a gem. Filled with sweet stories about the making of the movie, meeting the real Von Trapps and the funny mishaps behind the scenes. (I bought an autographed copy from Charmian's website) #augustphotochallenge @TheSpinecrackersBookClub
