'Sound Of Music' Stars: Where Are They Now?

Nearly 45 years after its release in theaters worldwide, the hills are as alive as ever with "The Sound of Music."

Featuring the music of legendary composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, "The Sound of Music" was released in the U.S. in March 1965. Directed by Robert Wise, the film starred Julie Andrews as Maria, a young woman who finds more luck at being a governess for the seven children of widowed Austrian Naval captain Georg Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) than at her attempts to become a nun at the local abbey.

Fresh off her Best Actress Oscar win for "Mary Poppins," "The Sound of Music" earned Andrews an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. The film was nominated for 10 Oscars overall and won five, including Best Picture and Best Director for Wise.

But perhaps the biggest win of all for the film was the enduring relationships among the actors in the film. Several of the children, in fact, have kept in close touch since the film came out, and have reunited for several anniversary celebrations over the years with Andrews.

Plummer, on the other hand, apparently hasn't has as much an affinity for "Music" as his film family has.

In an interview for her "Sound of Music" memoir "Forever Liesel" in 2000, Charmian Carr revealed Plummer's feelings about his movie legacy.

"He hated doing 'Sound of Music,' but he has warmed up to it in his later years," Carr told Tim Lammers in an @ The Movies interview. "He accepts it as a good film now. But he used to call it 'The Sound of Mucus' for a long, long time."
