Julie Andrews sang “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to the children in the cast to entertain them between shooting. Since Mary Poppins hadn’t yet been released, they just thought she’d made up the song for them.

An unusual thing happened to me last night. I was supposed to be writing this metaphorical poem for my Literature class (I about died writing it; I can’t believe I used to want writing as a career; the follies of childhood ambitions) but halfway through I ditched it and opted to watch ‘2001’ instead. While I was indulging myself in pure Kubrickian wonderment, my roommates were talking (extremely loudly) about…I don’t know. Boys, I guess. Anyways, they were talking about boys, when:
Roommate1: “Oh my gosh, do you guys know ‘The Sound of Music’?”
Other Roommates: “No.”
Roommate1: “Really? It’s this movie with Julie Andrews in it and *insert onomatopoeia of gushing about The Sound of Music* (basically, she’d just seen it for the first time)”
Other Roommates: “Oh wow, really?”
Roommate1: “Yeah and they had this interview on Oprah and they were all SO old. And Julie Andrews, she was the prettiest even though she played the mom.” (This was a rough translation from Tagalog to English; I don’t think the conversation actually went this way, knowing my horrific memory.)
I really don’t want to bag on my roommates (I think one of them wasn’t my roommate; she lived next door), they’re really nice, it’s just that never, in my twenty years of existence, have I ever met one person who hasn’t seen The Sound of Music. Not a single one. Yet there I was, suddenly surrounded by four (count FOUR) people who have never even heard of it. Isn’t it just so…difficult to comprehend?
What sort of deprived childhood did these girls have that they have never heard of one of the most beloved films of all time? I’m pretty sure somewhere along the way they’ve heard “Do-Re-Mi” or “So Long, Farewell”, etc. so even if they’ve never seen the Sound of Music, they must have heard of it, right?
It’s so impossible.
And yes. Maria = ex-nun, governess, NOT their mom.
But I like my roommates. They’re really nice, albeit loud.
Doesn’t change the fact that this is all so horrible.
But, yes. They’re really nice.
'Sound of Music' Actor: They Left Me Out Of Reunion | TMZ.com
But Daniel Truhitte — who played the love interest of Liesl Von Trapp and famously sang “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” — tells TMZ he doesn’t understand why he was left out, saying “I was the male juvenile lead, a main part of the story … it’s beyond me.”
Daniel groused, “How can you not include Rolfe?”
A rep for the show tells TMZ, “Our show was a reunion of the von Trapp ‘family.’ Mr. Truhitte’s character was not part of that group.”
So that’s why.
