Sound of Music daughter back home

Seventy years after fleeing the Nazis, a woman whose family was immortalised in The Sound of Music has returned to Austria to visit her former home.

"I'm back home again," 93-year-old Maria von Trapp told reporters in Salzburg after spending several nights in her childhood house, which has been transformed into a hotel.

Located in a posh part of Salzburg, the Villa Trapp once belonged to the von Trapps, who gained global fame in the 1965 blockbuster starring Julie Andrews, which tells the story of an Austrian woman who marries a widower with seven children and teaches them music.
