Julie Andrews has never said "so long, farewell" to her "Sound of Music" family. On Wednesday, the actress appeared on the "Today Show," where she discussed her close bond with the remaining cast of the 1965 film.

Several of the cast members who played the von Trapp children, including Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Duane Chase (Kurt), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta), Debbie Turner (Marta) and Kym Karath (Gretl) reunited earlier this month for the 86-year-old’s AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony. "We do keep in touch, but not on a really regular basis," Andrews explained. "I mean, Christmases, maybe birthdays and certainly get-togethers, but we just bonded so hard that I think we’re family anyway." The recent reunion was bittersweet for the star.

"I mean, the details in the movie, first of all, the scenery, children, song, music – all of it." The classic musical tells the story of the real-life von Trapp family, which escaped the Nazis in Austria.

It went on to win the Oscar for best picture. Andrews received an Academy Award nomination for her role as Maria, a woman who is sent by her convent in 1930s Austria to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval officer.
