The Hills Are Alive! Behind The Scenes With The Sound of Music

An Unbelievable Snub

The real life Maria was snubbed by producers of the film! In one of Maria’s many memoirs detailing her life, she stated that when she asked to go to the premier of the film, the producers simply told her no. The producers said there were no seats left for the inspiration of the film.

The worst part about all of this is the real life Maria was not even invited in the first place to attend the premier of the film, which was based on her own trials and tribulations. Producers did not want to waste time and money on someone who wasn’t a celebrity and who wasn’t recognizable by the paparazzi. They filled most of the seats with other celebrities.
