Seven film children reunited in Salzburg

Ten Oscar nominations, five of which awarded in 1965 and for decades the most popular film in history: Today the Sound of Music still fills millions of people with enthusiasm and for 70% of the tourists from the USA and the Far East it is the main reason to visit Salzburg.

As well as Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, who played captain Georg von Trapp and his second wife Maria Auguste, seven children also enjoyed great success with the public. Unforgettable: "Gretl" Kym Gareth, "Martha" Debbie Turner, "Brigitta" Angela Cartwright, "Kurt" Duane Chase, "Louisa" Heather Menzies, "Friedrich" Nicholas Hammond and "Liesl" Charmian Carr - at that time "sixteen goin' on seventeen..."

These seven children, meanwhile in the prime of their lives, return to Salzburg from 31st October through 7th November. A British film crew of "tyne Tees Telkevision" is recording a documentary about the cinema success and its stars.
Songs such as "The Hills are Alive" will be recorded again, and scenes at the original locations will be played again.
The documentary "After they were famous" will report on the life stories of the seven former child actors and on their expereinces and impressions during the filming in Salzburg 35 years ago as well as its effects on their lives.
