Sound Of Music cast Reunion on Oprah in 2010

[ginscpy]

Like being back in a time-warp.

Some of the kids looked older than Julie Andrews.

Cornballish move in 1965 - (though so then) - but still enjoyable.

Oprah Receives South African Honorary Doctorate
Friday, June 24, 2011 — A central South African university known for fraught race relations is welcoming a visit by Oprah Winfrey as an acknowledgment of the progress it has made toward tolerance.

On Friday, Winfrey is to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of the Free State, bringing international media to normally quiet Bloemfontein, the farming center where the century-old university is based. In 2006, four white Free State students made a video humiliating black cleaning women and expressing opposition to integrating the historically white school. Jonathan Jansen, who in 2009 became the university's first black rector, has been credited with pushing for change.

Nadipha Jacobs, a black student, says the university is slowly becoming more tolerant, and that the visit from the world's most recognizable black businesswoman shows that. "In many ways, I feel the university and its people have grown," said Jacobs, who started as an undergraduate in 1996 and now is a graduate student specializing in development studies. Winfrey, who is to give a speech and take questions from students on Friday, has yet to comment on her university honor.

Chantell De Reuck, a white graduate student strolling across campus Friday with her friend Jacobs, said other divides have been bridged in recent years, not just along racial lines. When she arrived as an undergraduate in 1999, she was among only six English-speaking students in a dorm dominated by Afrikaners, descendants of early Dutch settlers who speak Afrikaans. The English students stuck together then. Not now, De Reuck said. De Reuck said black and white students at the university can connect to Winfrey's personal story of early years of struggle and abuse, and find inspiration in her current success.

A 4,500-seat auditorium is expected to be full for the one-person graduation ceremony. Tickets were sold for 10 rand (about $1). Local reporters said hawkers selling fake tickets on Bloemfontein streets didn't increase the price. University officials warned that those with fake tickets would not be admitted.

Winfrey is a frequent visitor to South Africa, where she opened a school in 2007 dedicated to giving bright young women of all races opportunities in a society where they are handicapped by conservative traditions as well as the poor schools that are a legacy of apartheid. The school's first class just graduated, overcoming early setbacks that included a scandal over a dormitory supervisor accused of trying to kiss and fondle students. The supervisor was acquitted of sexual assault charges last year.

Wait a minute. What I missing something here? The Sound of Music is one of the screens greatest films of all time—a beautiful story with the most brilliant songs ever written for the screen. And you can take that to the bank from a former soldier, Army Ranger. I can think of any number of other musicals with a high "gay rating" lol, but not the iconic, Americana of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music.

'Ol American Cowboy might have had one too many spills from his horse.

American Cowboy wishes he could sing that well, the Vienna Boys Choir turned him down sadly. I think it was his assless chaps.


And yes, this movie is a classic, it was one of my mother's favorites, and my daughter and I love to watch it at least a few times a year!
