Charmian Carr. Early life[edit] Carr was born Charmian Anne Farnon in Chicago, Illinois, the second child of vaudeville actress Rita Oehmen and musician Brian Farnon.[1] The couple divorced in 1957.[2] She had two sisters, both actresses (Shannon Farnon and Darleen Carr).
Her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 10.[3] While a student at San Fernando High School, Carr was a cheerleader and played basketball and volleyball. "She had never had a singing lesson and had never tried to act" before she was signed to be in The Sound of Music.[2] The Sound of Music[edit] Carr was attending San Fernando Valley State College, studying speech therapy and philosophy,[4] and working for a doctor,[2] when her mother arranged for her to audition for a role in The Sound of Music.
In a newspaper article published November 9, 1964, Carr related the story behind the tryout as follows: I was going to college and getting extra spending money by modeling in fashion shows in one of the stores. Later life[edit] Evening Primrose (musical) Written originally for television, the musical focuses on a poet who takes refuge from the world by hiding out in a department store after closing.
He meets a community of night people who live in the store and falls in love with a beautiful young girl named Ella. Bizarre complications arise when the leader of the group forbids their relationship. Poet Charles Snell takes refuge from the world by hiding out in a department store after closing ("If You Can Find Me, I'm Here"). Stephen Sondheim is Not Just a Great Composer. He’s a Great Playwright. That line is set to a musical phrase that coils in on itself for the first clause and leaps in joy for the second.
If no one has ever exploited the thousand colors and astonishing coincidences of English to greater effect than Sondheim, that’s in part because no truly great lyricist, save possibly Cole Porter and Frank Loesser, has been his own composer. But even more than for those showmen, Sondheim twins and twines the two elements like DNA. Sometimes that means letting the music support the words, intensifying them, as in the song “Color and Light” from “Sunday in the Park.” While the pointillist painter Seurat dabs dots of pigment on his canvas, the lyric (“Red red red red/red red orange”) underlines the action and is, in turn, underlined by the music’s bristly staccato. Other times the music sends a coded secondary message, contradicting the lyric.
