The actress who played Liesl has died aged 73. Here's her best loved moment.

Charmian Carr was born in Chicago in 1942. Her mother was a vaudeville actress, and her father was a musician and orchestra leader.

She was a college student when she auditioned for the 1959 film of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.

Although Carr went on to be a successful interior designer - counting Michael Jackson among her clients - she was a regular at Sound of Music sing-along performances at the Hollywood Bowl, telling the audience that that they should consider the experience like going to a therapist.

She died from complications caused from a rare form of dementia.
