Hi Devon, I think, the sound of music came out in 1963, but I'm not sure,
because I don't go to many movies.

Marty, what year did that musical come out? I think you probably know where
I’m headed with this, lol. I’m trying to get this weekend’s show ready
early, because I have a Guide Dog Users of Canada conference to go to, and I
want to get things together as soon as I can. I’m outgoing president, so
they’re about to put me out to pasture, lol. Thanks. Devon.

Hi, Marty,
Sound of Music is one of my favorite musicals. That's really sad that the
actress had a rare form of dimentia.

Charmian Carr, 73; portrayed Liesl in 'The Sound of Music' . By Derrik J.
Lang Associated Press . LOS ANGELES - Charmian Carr, the actress best known
for sweetly portraying the eldest von Trapp daughter in Rodgers &
Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music," died Saturday. She was 73. Ms. Carr died
of complications from a rare form of dementia in Los Angeles, her spokesman,
Harlan Boll, said. At age 21, the actress portrayed Liesl von Trapp in the
1965 film musical "The Sound of Music. She famously performed the song
"Sixteen Going on Seventeen. After "The Sound of Music," Ms. Carr's only
other major Hollywood role was starring with Anthony Perkins in the 1966
Stephen Sondheim television musical "Evening Primrose. She played a
mysterious young woman who lived in a department store. "It's always sad when
a member of the family passes away - and in the case of the 'family' of the
movie 'The Sound of Music,' it's especial ly sad when it is the first of the
group to go," said Ted Chapin, president of the Rodgers & Hammerstein
organization, in a statement. "Charmian Carr played the oldest von Trapp
child, and in some ways she maintained that role in real life - guiding,
cheering, supporting and generally being there for the rest of her 'sisters'
and 'brothers . ' "We're second family," Kym Karath, who played Gretl von
Trapp, said in an AP interview last year to commemorate the film's 50th
anniversary. "As adults, we were deeply bonded, so our lives have really
interwoven with each other. Ms. Carr wrote a pair of books about her "Sound
of Music" experiences: "Forever Liesl" and "Letters to Liesl. She fully
embraced audiences' reverence for the musical, frequently appearing at
sing-a-long performances at the Hollywood Bowl. "I tell people that they
should consider sing-a-long 'Sound Of Music' like going to a therapist," she
said before a 2005 appearance. "It's just a kind of therapy. They can move
around . They can dance and talk back to the screen. They can skip their
appointment with the shrink that week. She appeared at a sing-a-long
performance at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, Mass., in 2001,
before which she was asked if she still wore Liesl's dress. "I'd like to,"
she said. "But Fox auctioned it off on the Internet. The von Trapps were a
musical family whose escape from Nazi-oc'cup'ied Austria was the basis for
"The Sound of Music. The children's names were changed for the musical. The
oldest von Trapp daughter, Agathe, died in 2010. Agathe was far more reserved
than the outgoing Liesl, according to a longtime friend. Ms. Carr went on to
become an interior designer in Southern California. Her clients included
Michael Jackson and "Sound of Music" screenwriter Ernest Lehman. She was born
in Chicago in 1942. Her mother was a vaudeville actress, and her father was a
musician and orchestra leader. Her family moved to the San Fernando Valley
when she was a child. Ms. Car r leaves four siblings, two children, and four
grandchildren.
