BALTIMORE, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Agathe von Trapp, a member of Austria's iconic singing von Trapp family, has died in a Baltimore, Md., hospice, her representatives said. She was 97.
The von Trapps inspired the classic 1959 stage musical and 1965 movie, "The Sound of Music," which is about how an aspiring nun helps seven children reconnect with their strict father and rediscover the joy of music after the death of their mother in pre-World War II Austria. The film starred Julie Andrews as the nun and Christopher Plummer as the father.
