Hollywood Stories: The Real Maria Loved The Sound Of Music

[Osayannx]

htale: You're a real downer...Why not leave The Sound of Music as it was portrayed in this movie? The movie's story such as it is, is plain love.

Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews and all the children actors are showed us this. It's a Christmas movie in our house because of this.

Why mess with it?

I met Werner Von Trapp from the 3rd generation in 1990 and he said Captain Von Trapp never changed and always stayed stern.

Christopher Plummer was and still is very handsome.

maria really loved her husband very much! i have heard that she could see his grave from a window from the house she lived in because she couldnt bare to be too far away from him.xxxx

You are right; in the story I was talking in the story about the time of their marriage and and said "Young Maria". Here is the quote from Maria's autobiography: ""I really and truly was not in love. I liked him but didn't love him. However, I loved the children, so in a way I really married the children. . . . [B]y and by I learned to love him more than I have ever loved before or after." I should have added that she came to love him in the story.

actually the real Georg von trapp looked pretty good. he was probably just older when maria met him...

@paiwanhan The real Georg was 25 years older than Maria. According to Maria's declaration of intention and petition for naturalization, they were married on November 26, 1927, and their first child was born on February 8, 1928. Do the math.

@paiwanhan Yes, he was handsome, as was his first cousin, who was my great grandfather.
