  An exclusive insight into the most popular movie musical in historyCharmian Carr was a 21 year-old plucked from obscurity to become the most famous 16-year-old ever - Liesl von Trapp, starring opposite Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. More than 35 years later she still receives letters from fans, and in her career as an interior decorator she has received commissions simply because of the connection - including Michael Jackson's famous Neverland estate!The book is crammed full of SOM trivia: which of the seven children needed a body double because he ate too many Austrian cream cakes, how Charmian nearly got killed filming the gazebo dance scene with Rolf, what Julie was really like and why they have hardly spoken since...'With more anecdotes than buttercups in an alpine field, this is an engaging romp . . . a delightful book, generous in spirit'Yorkshire Post'Carr manages cleverly to bring the whole thing to life by including both personal revelations and rather acid asides, albeit sweetly wrapped.'Observer
