Theodore Bikel
Theodore Bikel
Though he took on dozens of roles throughout his long career, Georg Von Trapp remained his best-known credit. He was nominated for a Tony Award for his portrayal of the head of a large Austrian brood who defy and escape the Nazis. Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote the song "Edelweiss" specifically for him. (Mr. Bikel was himself Austrian, having been born in Vienna on May 2, 1924.)
