Julie Andrews, 89, starred in the hit 1965 movie, The Sound Of Music as Maria Von Trapp.
She starred as a governess who was charged to look after the seven children of Captain von Trapp - played by the late Christopher Plummer.
At first, the former nun taught the strictly-regimented kids how to play and sing before catching feelings for her employer.
The pair ended up marrying, but were then forced to flee Austria as the Anschluss came into effect before WW2.
Kym Karath, 66, played the youngest child, Gretl von Trapp, and she took to social media as she reunited with four of her on-screen siblings.
She posted an image of five of the seven von Trapp actors as they soaked up the sun on a holiday in Tuscany, Italy.
Leading the pack was Nicholas Hammond, 75, who played the eldest von Trapp son, Friedrich.
This was alongside Duane Chase, 74, who played the slightly younger brother, Kurt on-screen.
Out of the rest of the girls, Angela Cartwright, 72, and Debbie Turner, 68, were also present after they played Brigitta and Marta respectively.
The quintet were all beaming from ear to ear as they delighted in each other's company, six decades after the film's initial release.
The post caption read: "All together in the Tuscan sunset! #thesoundofmusicinflorence #florence."
Charmian Carr is the actress who played the eldest child Liesl, however she passed away in September 2016.
Her co-star Heather Menzies would have completed the von Trapp lineup, but she died in 2017 aged 68.
Their on-screen father Christopher Plummer who played the retired naval officer passed away at the age of 91 in 2021.
The Sound of Music was a huge hit, winning five Oscars with five more nominations.
It earned the distinction of becoming the first movie to gross over $100million (£74.1million) at the box office.
When adjusted for inflation, it would have earned roughly $2.36billion (£1.84 billion).

Sweden vs England - Women's Euros: Live score, team news and updates as the Lionesses face a Swedish side who are unbeaten in over a year
Mamma Mia, here we go again. Oh drat, I can't use that, can I? That's an ABBA song and England are playing Sweden, what was I thinking? Tonight is huge. The Lionesses continue their Euros title defence against a side they beat on the way to glory three years ago, but this time the Swedes aren't here to roll over. Only one place separates these two sides in the FIFA world rankings; there is practically nothing to separate them on paper. A semi-final date with Italy awaits the winner - quite the prize. I, for one, am buzzing for this belter of a match in Zurich, and you should be too. Strap in, it could be one hell of a rollercoaster. So, let's get it started.

Notting Hill Carnival boss – ‘We can't ignore impact of knife crime on our event'
The boss of Notting Hill Carnival has said 'we can't ignore the impact of knife crime on our event' as he pledged to work alongside a charity set up by actor Idris Elba. Matthew Phillip, the chief executive of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, said the event is 'not the cause' of knife crime, but 'can be a part of the solution', after a number of deaths in recent years. The carnival has partnered with the actor's Elba Hope Foundation and its campaign Don't Stop Your Future (DSYF) to combat knife and violent crime in London communities, ahead of the event, which takes place over the August bank holiday weekend. It has also secured extra funding from local councils and the mayor of London to improve safety and infrastructure. The carnival has faced criticism in recent years for not tackling violent crime. It comes after the murders of two people last year, Cher Maximen, who was killed in front of her three-year-old daughter, and chef Mussie Imnetu, who was repeatedly punched and kicked during an altercation. Takayo Nembhard was stabbed at the age of 21 in 2022. The carnival says it is often portrayed as the cause of knife crime, which it denies, but says it wants to use its spotlight for positive action. Concerns over safety at the carnival have also contributed to insecurity about its future, and the festival's organisers wrote to the Government earlier this year to ask for urgent funding. Carnival chairman Ian Comfort asked for money to steward the event and address safety concerns, amid ongoing warnings from police that there could be a fatality. Eventually City Hall, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea council and Westminster city council provided money, allowing this year's event to take place. Matthew Phillip, the chief executive of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, said: 'We can't ignore the impact of knife crime on our event. 'The tragic deaths of Takayo Nembhard and Cher Maximen broke the hearts of their friends and families as well as our communities and, three years on, the family and friends of Takayo still don't have justice. 'These young people didn't lose their lives because of carnival; carnival is not the cause of this crisis, but it can be part of the solution. 'In that spirit, Carnival aligns perfectly with the principles of DSYF. 'Their ongoing work to help disenfranchised young people to make better choices is a productive and sustainable action to a very complex and, ultimately, sad problem. 'They show that there is choice, and we are working with them to amplify this message that we hope will let people know there are other options. 'The Elba Hope Foundation is about creating real pathways for young people, to build confidence, develop skills and find belonging. 'Carnival provides one of the few creative and cultural outlets left for our youth. That's why we must protect it, invest in it and use its platform to uplift others.' The carnival will run from August 23 to 25 and features parades, steelpan, costumes, bands, sound systems and stages. People will be invited to join a 72-second silence at 3pm on Sunday and Monday to honour people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire, and Kelso Cochrane, who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in Notting Hill in 1959.

Tomorrowland festival in ‘race against time' to open after fire destroys stage
One of the world's largest dance parties will go ahead on Friday without its famous main stage after it was destroyed by fire. More than 400,000 people are set to descend on the town of Boom, in Belgium, for the Tomorrowland festival which has come to be internationally renowned as much for its elaborate stage designs as its headline acts. Fans have paid up to £5000 for the multi-day event where some of the biggest names in the electronic music scene — including David Guetta — were expected to perform in a 'magical universe made entirely out of ice'. A sound and light stage show was meant to symbolise melting glaciers that revealed 'a unique source of light, energy, and power that originates from powerful, red-coloured crystals and rocks'. But the plans were thrown into chaos on Wednesday night as a fire broke out while staff were reportedly testing a firework cannon that would have been used during the performance. Tomorrowland promoters said in a statement that the 'beloved' art installation was severely damaged. 'It's impossible to put into words what we're feeling,' they said. 'This wasn't just a stage. It was a living, breathing world.' Images shared on local news sites and social media showed flames and plumes of black smoke engulfing the stage and spreading to nearby woodland. No one was injured during the fire and the festival's 14 smaller stages were undamaged. Tens of thousands of festival-goers set up tents in the campsite on Thursday despite uncertainty over the event plans, while other devastated ticket-holders demanded refunds. Tomorrowland organisers outlined two scenarios for the music performances as they promised to find 'possible solutions'. 'It's a race against time, but we're doing this together with the best and most amazing people in the world,' they said in a statement published on the event's website on Thursday evening. 'What we can confirm is that we will be able to welcome everyone tomorrow.' If the burnt structure can be safely secured and a new stage set up overnight, the festival grounds may open as planned on Friday afternoon. 'If we are unable to open at full visitor capacity, DreamVille [the campsite] and the festival grounds will function as two separate areas on Friday to ensure the safety of all guests,' the festival organisers said. Debby Wilmsen, the Tomorrowland spokeswoman, said staff were 'devastated' but that 'we're going to keep going, we're going 100 percent'. 'We can also throw a party without a main stage,' Ms Wilmsen said. The fire on Wednesday night was not the first time Tomorrowland has been impacted by fire. In 2018 when the festival held a special event in Spain, a crowd of 22,000 people was evacuated after a stage was engulfed in flames. Fans fled in terror as the inferno took hold, sending smoke billowing into the sky as the massive speaker system caught fire.
