FOREVER LIESL

The Sound of Music is more than a classic movie musical. It is a cultural phenomenon. Its magic lives on in the minds and hearts of everyone it has touched. Now, one of the members of the 1965 film's cast tells what it was really like to be a part of the phenomenon. Charmian Carr, who captivated moviegoers as Liesl "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" von Trapp, shares her memories of making the movie that shaped her life and captures just why The Sound of Music means so much to so many. Forever Liesl brims with heartwarming anecdotes and funny moments, from romances on the set and scenes that were cut to the glorious alpine locations and wild nights at the Bristol Hotel in Salzburg. Charmian recounts how she won the role with no acting experience, the near disaster as they filmed the dance in the gazebo, and her relationships--then and now--with her six celluloid siblings. As enchanting as its author, 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. Perfect for a Valentine's or Mother's Day gift, and a must-have for any fan of the film, Forever Liesl is sure to be one of this season's favorite things.
