Heather Menzies-Urich, the actor who portrayed Louisa von Trapp in The Sound of Music, has died aged 68. “There is really no other way to describe the members of the cast of the movie of The Sound of Music. “And of ‘the kids’, Heather was a cheerful and positive member of the group, always hoping for the next gathering. We will miss her.”She was a 14-year-old with no acting experience when she landed the part of third-oldest von Trapp daughter Louisa in 1964. Menzies-Urich’s death follows that of Charmian Carr — who played the eldest von Trapp daughter Liesl.
