Heartwarming moment Julie Andrews is serenaded with ‘Do-Re-Mi’ by Von Trapp child actors
In a heartwarming moment of music, Dame Julie Andrews was serenaded by five of the
original cast members who played the Von Trapp children in
The Sound of Music
, which was released 57 years ago.
The beloved film, whose music was composed by the legendary duo Rodgers and Hammerstein,
saw Andrews play a governess who helps the Von Trapp family household rediscover the joy of music, and music-making.
On Thursday 9 June, Andrews was being honoured at the AFI Life
Achievement Award Gala with the institute’s highest honour for a career in film.
Nicholas Hammond, who played Friedrich Von Trapp, begins the presentation with the
opening lyric of the song ‘Do-Re-Mi’, one of the most famous numbers from the musical film.
“Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start,” Hammond says.
