I
just got to know that Heather Menzies Urich is the real name of one of the
girls who acted Louisa Von Trapp in the movie, ‘Sound of Music’. I so much
enjoyed her role as a 14 year old member of Von Trapp family.
The
role she played in “Sound of Music came all fresh to me yesterday as I read in
the Punch Newspaper of December 26 that the Sound of Music actress, Heather
Menzies-Urich is dead at Sixty Eight Years old.
The
report had it that her death was announced by the Estate of the Musical’s
Creators Rodgers and Hammerstein on Christmas day. According to the Nation’s
report, Heather’s son reported to United States News Site TMZ that his mother
was diagnosed with brain cancer around 4 weeks ago and died on Christmas Eve at
7.22pm. He described his mother as an actress and a ballerina who loved living
her life to the fullest.
Her
memory will never be forgotten, as she really impressed her audience with her
role as 14 years old child and the third oldest Von Trapp child. Louisa, as
she is popularly known by the audience of Sound of Music 1964 movie was an
exciting character.
