“A captain with seven children. What’s a fearsome about that?” Even though it came out 47 years ago, The Sound of Music is still one of America’s favorite movies. Now the seven actors who portrayed the Von Trapp children have put together a collection of photographs and recollections about the filming of that beloved musical. Charmian Carr (Liesl), Angela Cartwright (Brigetta) and Kym Karath (Gretl) will be at at 3 p.m. to discuss the “do-re-mis” of the film and sign copies of The Sound of Music Family Scrapbook.
