영화 '사운드 오브 뮤직'의 소재가 됐던 본 트랩 일가의 최후 생존자인 마리아가 최근 별세했다. 향년 99세다.
유족은 마리아가 지난 18일 미국 버몬트주 자택에서 별세했다면서 "측은하거나 비열한 구석이 전혀 없는 사랑스러운 여인"으로 고인을 회고했다.
마리아는 오스트리아 해군 대령 조지 본 트랩과 첫째 부인 사이에서 태어난 둘째딸이자 7남매 중 셋째였다. 영화 사운드 오브 뮤직에서 고인은 '루이자'라는 이름으로 등장한다.
본 트랩 일가는 오스트리아가 나치 독일에 합병되자 합창단을 만들어 순회 공연 중 고국을 탈출해 미국으로 건너왔다.
이 사연은 본 트랩 대령의 둘째 부인이자 고인과 동명이인인 마리아가 1949년 발간한 자서전을 통해 국내외에 알려졌다.
책은 이후 1959년 브로드웨이 뮤지컬 사운드 오브 뮤직과 1965년 동명 인기 영화의 소재가 됐다.
영화는 본 트랩 7남매의 실명과 나이를 모두 바꾸고 가족이 알프스 산맥을 넘어 탈출에 성공한다는 극적 허구를 추가했다.
본 트랩 일가는 도미 후 버몬트주 스토위에 정착해 스키 산장을 운영했다. 고인은 이곳에서 배다른 여동생 로즈메리와 아코디언을 연주하고 오스트리아 춤을 가르쳤다. (연합)

Maria von Trapp: last member of family group that inspired Sound of Music dies
The last surviving member of the famous Trapp Family Singers made famous in The Sound of Music has died at her home in Vermont, aged 99.
Von Trapp's brother, Johannes von Trapp, said she died on Tuesday. He called her a "lovely woman who was one of the few truly good people."
The family won acclaim throughout Europe for their singing and escaped from Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938. Their story was turned into the film and Broadway musical.
Maria von Trapp was the third child and second-oldest daughter of Austrian naval captain Georg von Trapp and his first wife, Agathe Whitehead von Trapp.
Their seven children were the basis for the singing family in the 1959 Broadway musical and 1965 film, which won the Oscar for best picture. Maria von Trapp was portrayed as Louisa in the film (played by Heather Menzies) and musical.
The Sound of Music was based loosely on a 1949 book by Georg von Trapp's second wife, also Maria von Trapp, who died in 1987. It tells the story of an Austrian woman who married a widower with seven children and taught them music.
In 1938, the family escaped from Nazi-occupied Austria. After they arrived in New York, the family became popular with concert audiences. The family eventually settled in Vermont, where they opened a ski lodge in Stowe.
Maria von Trapp played accordion and taught Austrian dance with her sister Rosmarie at the lodge.
She wrote in a biography posted on the Von Trapp family's website that she was born in the Austrian Alps after her family fled fighting from the first world war and that she was surrounded by music growing up.
"Father played the violin, accordion and mandolin. Mother played piano and violin," she wrote. "I have fond memories of our grandmother playing the piano for us after meals."
Her biography on the website also said that she worked as a lay missionary in Papua New Guinea.
Rosmarie von Trapp, Johannes von Trapp and Eleonore Von Trapp Campbell were born to Georg von Trapp and Maria von Trapp. (AP)
