The magic of **The Sound of Music** lives on in the minds and hearts of everyone it has touched. Now, **Charmian Carr** , who in 1965 captivated moviegoers as Liesl Sixteen Going on Seventeen von Trapp, tells what it was like to be a part of the film that has become a cultural phenomenon. It’s all here: from how she got the role (and why she almost didn’t) to romances on the set and wild nights in Salzburg; from the near-disaster during the gazebo dance to her relationships–then and now–with her six celluloid siblings. Charmian offers stories from fans and friends and a treasury of photographs. And she reveals why she left acting, what she learned when she met the real von Trapp children; and how The Sound of Music has helped her get through stormy times in her own life. **Forever Liesl** celebrates the spirit of the movie and what it stands for: family love, romance, inspiration, nostalgia, and the joy and power of music.
