Charmian Carr - Sound of Music's (film) Liesl dies age 73

[Bruce Wall]

Oh, dear ... It seems she was 73 - which sounds much more sensible.  I got the 88 from the title of this Playbill listing:

Can't believe everything you read ... even in Playbill!!!

Still, she looked so young in the film ... I had no idea she was 21 when she filmed it.  

 

Now she will be eternally 16 going on 17.  

 

Left the industry to bring up her children, form a design company and write books.  

 

A full life ... and such beautiful bone structure.  

 

Apparently she had dementia for quite a spell before her death.

 

May she rest in peace.

And it's Liesl (not Leisel). RIP.

I have edited the title.

 

How very sad. She was spellbindingly beautiful. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37403372

Very sad news.  RIP Charmian Carr

I was confused when I saw the original title, because I was wondering how old that made Julie Andrews!

I remember the first time I saw the film when I was little and thinking she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.
