Director Robert Wise and his casting consultants were widely recognized as having done a superb job in assembling a cast that included so many unknown, but very talented names. After an extensive search and more than two hundred auditions, the children were chosen, not just for their acting and singing skills, but also for their personality and 'presence'. Many of The Sound of Music actors and actresses formed a strong bond with each other, a cameraderie that still lasts today...
"Who would have thought back in 1964 that we'd all still be together after all these years? Who would have thought that our fictional family would grow into a real one?" Charmian Carr, 'Forever Liesl'
