At age 97, Agathe von Trapp is the oldest living sibling of the musical von Trapp family, featured in the movie classic The Sound of Music. (She is Liesle in the film.) She came to LLM after self-publishing her memoir, Memories Before and After 'The Sound of Music,'seeking a larger publisher. The memoir tells the true story of the von Trapp family with many personal details and new information. Gate-Gagern, a German film company, approached Agathe about her book, and subsequently took an option on it for development of a television movie in English. The screenplay is being written by Kirk Ellis, who wrote and co-produced HBO's John Adams series. It is scheduled to start filming in 2011. More recently It Books, an imprint of Harper, picked up the memoir and will be publishing it in September 2010.
