Oprah Winfrey can practically do almost anything. Well, almost. She has announced that she will be reuniting all the members of the cast of one of the most enduring films of all time– The Sound of Music –a feat that has not been achieved in the last 45 years since the film was released.
Julie Andrews, 74, and Christopher Plummer, 81, will lead the reunion together with the seven child actors who played their children in the movie: Charmian Carr (Liesl), Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Heather Menzies-Urich (Louisa), Duane Chase (Kurt), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta), Debbie Turner (Marta), and Kym Karath (Gretl).

It was also announced that some of the real von Trapp children will be in attendance during the reunion.
Previous attempts to reunite the entire cast failed as either Andrews or Plummer would not be in attendance. Plummer has actually distanced himself from the movie which typcasted him as a tight leading man for years. He however said that he has already reconciled with that fact.
The Sound of Music, considered a film that stood the test of time, has been finding new fans even up to this date. It has won five Academy Awards including Best Picture.
The episode will be shown on October 29.
