- astrange 5y agoNot a very flattering picture.
- geerlingguy 5y agoIn her case, I think she was still a 'postulate', basically in preparation to become a nun, and the 'Mother Superior' or whatever the head nun was at her convent told her she should marry Captain Avon Trapp. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction!
- iammisc 5y agoI don't think she gave it up to be a socialite. She gave it up to be with the children. Her biography is very interesting
- dragonwriter 5y agoShe “gave it up” because she was directed by her religious superior to do so, and was initially unhappy about it. (As well as shifting timing related to external political events, the popular musical retelling changes this, because it makes a less simplistically charming narrative.)
