Maria Von Trapp, the lead character, for all intensive purposes.
Do you mean how did she get the role of Maria in the Sound of Music? In answer to this question though, I would say she was absolutely amazing in The Sound of Music.

Maria
Julie Andrews
The original cast included Mary Martin (at age 46) as Maria,
It was a Broadway show if I recall correctly, Miss Martin is probably best known for her roles in ( South Pacific) and ( Sound Of Music) The stage versions. the Movie version of Sound of Music was done (the female lead) by Julie Andrews, but the stage role was best associated with Mary Martin. If I amj not mistaken the Peter Pan was a Broadway live-action stage show, it may have been televised.
The role of Friedrich von Trapp was played by Nicholas Hammond.
Yes he was. He played the role as Kurt. XD

Carrie Underwood has a soprano voice, though she chooses to sing Country Music in a lower register. If anyone doesn't believe this... then watch her in the upcoming NBC holiday special this December where she will play the (Julie Andrews) role of Maria von Trapp in a live new production of "The Sound of Music."
