The Von Trapp Children From ‘Sound Of Music’ Where Are They Now?

Louisa, played by Heather Menzies-Urich

The Sound Of Music was Heather Menzies-Urich’s first movie.

She continued acting after she wed actor Robert Urich, appearing in films and TV shows such as Logan’s Run, S.W.A.T, and The Love Boat.

When her children were born, she stepped away from the limelight and now runs the nonprofit organization she established after her husband died from a rare form of cancer.

The Robert Urich Foundation provides funding for cancer research and to help families relocate for specialized treatment.

Her role as Louisa in The Sound of Music was Heather Menzies-Urich’s first movie.

Marta, played by Debbie Turner

Debbie was as much an athlete as an actress as a child, and she opted for sports after playing Marta von Trapp.

The keen ski-er and mother-of-four began a new career as an interior designer and now owns a floral-design business in Minnesota. 

She recently was called on to provide flowers for a wedding in Salzburg, Austria, at a palace that inspired the sets of The Sound Of Music.
