Elderly von Trapp Draws Interest for Memoir
Agathe von Trapp, eldest daughter of the famous singing family (as in "I am 16 going on 17"), is bemused that a self-published memoir has brought her considerable attention now, at age 90. ''It's very strange for me,'' she says. ``I've been living a very quiet life. All of a sudden, these people want to see me.'' AGATHE VON TRAPP: Memories Before and After The Sound of Music, was financed by von Trapp’s doctor and her doctor’s husband. Reuters reports, "She has a literary agent now, and even is thinking of letting a traditional publisher take over so the book can be more widely distributed."
Also a few mistakes were made in the movie...
... The nun who became her stepmother was not a governess. She was a tutor for one of von Trapp's sisters...
...the von Trapps did not cross the Alps to escape Austria. They crossed the street to a train...
take care,
Will
