Forever Liesl: My Sound of Music Story (Large Print)

The magic of The Sound of Music lives on in the minds and hearts of everyone it has touched. Charmian Carr, who in 1965 captivated moviegoers as Liesl "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" von Trapp, now tells what it was like to be a part of the film that has become a cultural phenomenon. From how she got the role (and why she almost didn't) to romances on the set and wild nights in Salzburg, from the near-disaster during the gazebo dance to her relationships - then and now - with her six celluloid siblings, Carr offers a treasure trove of stories and a treasury of photographs. She reveals why she left acting, what she learned when she met the real von Trapp children, and how The Sound of Music has helped her get through stormy times in her own life. Forever Liesl celebrates the spirit of the movie and what it stands for - family love, romance, inspiration, nostalgia, and the joy and power of music. It's a glimpse into the life of the actress who embodied one of the most beloved characters in cinematic history, and a testament to the enduring legacy of a timeless classic.
