Von Trapps

[Monoclinic 39]

Are Austrians Europe's most miserable twats?

 

Wouldn't you be miserable if you've spent half your life in a cellar with only a dirty old man for "comfort"?

Sounds like heaven to me.

 

And anyway, the Welsh are Europe's most miserable twats.

Von Trapp would have made a splendid pseudonym for Joseph Fritzel with his young von in der trap, so to speak. He could have entertained his family with Cliff Richard's "The Young Vons" and told them stories: "Vons upon a time...."

 

Perhaps it is time to get my macintosh, pickelhaube and body armour.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

Maria Von Trapp has died at the age of 99.

Maria Von Trapp has died at the age of 99.

 

Bollocks! I forgot to put her on my list even though I suggested her a couple of times

[Guest Guest]

Maria von Trapp was the last of the 7 Trapp children that george von Trapp had with his first wife therefore I presume the last of the 7 that a Maria Augusta von Trapp taught as featured in The Sound of Music. Georg had 3 more children with Maria Augusta von Trapp after they married

[Guest Guest]

Just checked.The 3 survivng children are all from Georg and Marias own marriage so were not featured in The Sound of Music so that means all the Sound of Music children are now dead. End of an era

Agathe (1913-2010).

Also, did some fast searching:

Johannes von Trapp, the tenth and youngest child is still alive and 82.

That is really going to annoy AP who reported Rosemarie as still alive: https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-europe-arts-and-entertainment-movies-vermont-e01e2f14b1afedb844e4ca8b6f91bb79

 

They make reference to an obituary, which maybe someone can trace.

Spooky.

Rosemarie must've resurrected herself a few months later in order to sing to school kids in April 2011.

Moral of the story: Geni is often wrong.

@YoungWillz, disappointed in you.

There was an open goal for you to break this news with
"D.
A Death.
A female death."

[arghton 6,716]

Fixed. There's a post from February on the von Trapp facebook page not only confirming that she is alive and 92 but also mentioning that she is still active ("continues her musical pursuits dabbling in the recorder, accordion, shofar and voice", "active member of the arts & crafts and faith communities"). Johannes is also active, still operating the lodge.

Of all the musicals, and I mean all including Carousel and Pal Joey, The Sound Of Music is probably my most despised. 

 

It's long, it's saccharine, and all those reprises....yuk.

 

Lay oh  yodel lay do. Or summat.

Couldn't agree more. Very overrated. 

I think I was considerably older than most seeing it first time round (maybe 19/20? whereas most people probably see it whilst children?). I remember struggling to get to the end and then thinking "what's all the fuss about?".

Probably expecting too much with the Nazi subplot. Think I was hoping for the Von Trapps to fortify themselves in their mansion and have an explosive shoot-out with the S.S.

Alas...

When I was a kid, the BBC showed Sound of Music and Bedknobs and Broomsticks on the same Easter break, and I will go to my grave insisting that the Angela Lansbury magic fest for kids is the superior film. And she actually fights Nazis in that one, too!

I rewatched Mary Poppins a few years ago. It was utter balls.
Rewatched Bedknobs and Broomsticks around the same time. It's still awesome.

Johannes Von Trapp is on GB News right now slurping away on a beer and talking about his brewery. Looks a bit skeletal but sounds good and seems to have his faculties and mobilities in place for someone away to turn 83. Seems a certainty that he will outlive his sister Rosmarie to become the last living Von Trapp child.
