The Sound of music kids

Ive loved this movie since before I can remember. Id hold my tape deck to the tv and record the songs. As a gay man, Charming Carr, liesel, was my first crush. My question is, Why didn't their carriers do better from this ginormous monster hit? I know the eldest boy, Nicholas Hammond was Spiderman in the 70s but that was 10 years later and hardly a gig given to him from the heat of TSOM. Angela Cartwright, Brigitta, continued her tv work and has a solid C.V. but not moviel stardom or teen idol fame. Elder gays, did they do major P.R. at the time with the kids? Were they in the fan mags, on TV? Were they like The Beatles, for 15 minutes? I'd love to know.

Darleen Carr was the star of the Carrs.

The Sound of Music is not Angela’s most famous role…

Nicholas Hammond pops up quite a bit in Aussie TV and theater, and he’s married to a fairly well-known and respected actress (Robyn Nevin)

Heather Menzies (Louisa) had a consistent run in TV guest star roles in the 60s and 70s. She's in 2 70s B-movie creature feature classics: Ssssss and Piranha. And she snagged Robert Urich and got to ride that thick hog

Kym Karath and Nicholas Hammond both did episodes of The Brady Bunch. That pretty much speaks to the level of interest Hollywood had for the Sound of Music kids

Angela Cartwright's most famous role after that was Penny in Lost In Space.

I don't remember the kids having even 15 minutes of fame. We didn't care about them, they were props.

R8 she was more famous before. What don’t you get?

Kym also appeared in a cool Season 1 episode of the 1960s TV series “Lost In Space” of which Angela was a castmember.

Yes, that's exactly what they were like.

Tens of thousands of screaming sex-crazed teenagers appeared at Shea Stadium to hear them reenact their little Glockenspiel routine for "So Long, Farewell."

Kym Karath (Gretl) was nearly ripped to pieces.

Know your Cartwright sisters!:

Angela (aka "The Pretty One"): The Sound of Music, Lost in Space

Veronica (aka "The Great Screamer"): The Birds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Alien

Angela Cartwright was a regular on 222 episodes of "Make Room for Daddy." She was far better known for that than for anything else.

Kym Karath did a nude scene in "The Thrill of It All."

No, none of them were teen idols in 1965. They were never on the cover of 16 Magazine or Tiger Beat.

The ugly little Cartwright girl had dark circles under her eyes. Bulimic

Charmian Carr was 21 when they filmed Sound of Music.

Once shooting was over the other six kids went back to their lives, but Charmian kept working for the firm. 20th Century Fox employed her as an ambassador for the film, flying her from country to country to promote the movie. Wherever the the movie opened, she was there to do interviews on radio and TV and in newspapers.

This kept her employed for about a year as movies opened gradually around the U.S. and around the world in those days.

Does “Cuntface” get screams and cheers?

Nicholas Hammond was in "Once Upon A Time In The West" a few years ago. He still looks pretty good.

Actually the majority of her fans are by far from Lost in Space not Sound of Music.

Man, I HOPE Heather Menzies made good use of the cock Urich is showing off in that pic! Damn, I'd never seen the photo - he should have done a Playgirl "spread." Bets on how hairy his ass was?

Maybe with old trolls R32, but statistically, the vast majority of her fans are from Lost in Space.

Nicholas Hammond was in one of the most famous episodes of The Brady Bunch. He was Doug Simpson, the big man on campus. He might have beaten Greg to taking Marcia's virginity had that pesky football not hit her nose, forcing him to cancel his date with her.

by Anonymousreply 35September 3, 2025 11:20 AM

The sexual chemistry between him and Maureen McCormick was off the charts.

by Anonymousreply 36September 3, 2025 2:03 PM

I never realized that was Nicholas Hammond playing Doug Simpson in that episode!

Such a completely different character from Friedrich.

I certainly never thought of the kids as 'props'; i loved each one for their individuality. I love how they speak and how their little hearts are aching for Captain Von Trapp to just love them. When he sings Edeweiss, I particularly love Fredreichs face. And when Kurt tries to dance with Maria, and his Dad takes over. And Brigitta points out to Maria that shes blushing.. and the little looks they give each other; its all just perfect. I recall the great Joan Rivers saying she wud avoid this and Oz for a few years so she could come back to them with excitement. I do the same. Plus, if I catch either movie on TV and its already started, I won't watch...I have to watch from beginning to end. Its crazy to see how that Demon hunter kpop film has exploded; its not for me. To say its bad; but its certainly a mystery as to why its huge. And yes I did sit tru it so I can speak on the subject.

I don't know how hairy it was, but it was *big*. That was my only takeaway.

Menzies was excellent in Ssss and the Logan’s Run TV series. I give her a lot of credit for keeping that gynecological surname. Make Room for Daddy was a much bigger hit than Lost in Space, and sister Veronica was also a regular on Daniel Boone and won an Emmy for her role on The X-Files.
