Legendary star of stage and screen Julie Andrews stopped by today's LIVE WITH KELLY AND MICHAEL to share stories of filming "The Sound of Music", now celebrating its 50th Anniversary. Check out the appearance below!

Directed and produced by Robert Wise THE SOUND OF MUSIC starred Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer and was an adaptation of the 1959 Broadway musical The Sound of Music, with songs written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, adapted from the musical's book written by the writing team of Howard LINDSAY and Russel Crouse.

Based on the book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young woman who leaves an Austrian convent to become a governess to the seven children of a naval officer widower.

The film won five Academy Awards including Best Picture and displaced Gone with the Wind as the highest-grossing film of all-time while the accompanying soundtrack album was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The film has popularized songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, including "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", "Do-Re-Mi", "Sixteen Going on Seventeen", "The Lonely Goatherd", and the title song, "The Sound of Music".
