Actually Doris Day would have been a fine Maria Von Trapp; her star magnetism, still fresh-scrubbed look and proven singing talent might worked. But Julie Andrews was very recent to the film world, though people had been hearing about her in the news losing out to Audrey Hepburn for "My Fair Lady". Those kids in "Sound of Music" have for the most part American accents. Julie Andrews is so good and charismatic that her British accent doesn't really feel out of place in Austria.
