I actually met her in 1958 when she visited my Catholic HS in Patchogue, NY. It was 10 years before the movie was made and I wasn't paying much attention. It turned out to be one of the most popular movies in history!


Maria Augusta von Trapp (1905)
Born in Austria and orphaned at a young age, Maria Kutschera planned to become a nun in Salzburg. Instead, she met Baron Georg von Trapp while tutoring one of his seven children. They were married in 1927 and had three children together. After financial trouble, the family began to sing professionally, then fled Nazi Europe for the US. Today, the family operates a lodge in Vermont. Maria's 1949 memoir was adapted into The Sound of Music.

Very interesting story. I have visited the movie set in Salzburg and the property near Stowe, VT. This photo was taken early morning on that property back in 2010 when I visited there during a photo workshop.

It was from what I remember, but I wish I was mature enough to appreciate it at the time. If the movie had already been out I'm sure I would have. I can say that she looked nothing like Julie Andrews!

I lived in Memphis when the movie was released. It played as the only show there for one year! I'm sure that wasn't the only city that had a theater do that.

My father's whole side of the family is in Lawrence. My brother in law and his family live in New Paltz. I also have cousins in Poughkeepsie. Both my parents had 10 brothers and sisters, so lots of aunts, uncles, cousins. Most are deceased now though
