My musical loving heart can't handle this much amazing news. Debbie Turner, who played Marta in the 1965 classic, The Sound of Music lives in Chanhassen, Minnesota. And not only that, she took her Sound of Music connection to the next level to make face masks from an iconic piece of the film. Show
Debbie was only 7 years old when she played Marta, now at the age of 64, she is making face masks out of the same iconic pattern of drapes from the film. In the film, the von Trapp children had play clothes made from the drapes in the home courtesy of Maria (Julie Andrews). In real life, you can have a face mask of the same pattern. WCCO reported:
Debbie told WCCO that she didn't expect it to be as popular as it is. When she initially put it on her Facebook page she got 15,000 hits in one day. The masks cost $29.99 each, and she also makes pillows and scarves of the same material for those that are looking to wear or display the print differently.
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go order one and play my vinyl copy of The Sound of Music soundtrack at top volume. The hills of Minnesota are alive with the sound of nostalgia.

Face Masks With a Familiar Pattern Former child actor Debbie Turner is using fabric inspired by the 1965 movie musical to create face coverings, headbands, and more. Julie Andrews Child actor-turned designer and decorator Debbie Turner has released a handmade face mask inspired by the 1965 movie musical The Sound of Music, which features an 11-year-old Turner as Marta Von Trapp. Turner was inspired by the scene in which Julie Andrews, as Maria, rebuffed after a request to create play clothes for the Von Trapp children, uses old drapes in her bedroom to get her way without having to order new fabric. The Von Trapp children wear the repurposed draperies in the beginning of the "Do-Re-Mi" montage and when greeting Baroness Schraeder. Kym Karath, who played Gretel in the film, tweeted a photo wearing the mask along with several of her fellow "Von Trapps."
Pre-orders for the masks are available at DebbieTurnerOriginals.com. Masquerade-style masks and headbands are also available, with throw pillows coming soon. How old was Marta in The Sound of Music?Marta von Trapp (age 7) Very sweet and gentle.
What does Marta want for her seventh birthday?I asked the former child actress (who, as Marta, so adorably informed her governess Maria that she wanted a pink parasol for her seventh birthday) if she'd ever actually gotten a pink parasol.
Who turned down the role of Maria in Sound of Music?Two years before the musical made its Broadway debut, Paramount Pictures bought the rights to the Von Trapp Singers story, intending to cast Audrey Hepburn as Maria. When Hepburn declined, Paramount dropped plans for a movie.
