| I agree with you about Kaufman and do not remember him suggesting in the book that Martin may have been asexual. Kaufman did write that Martin may have married a gay man (Richard Halliday) because she did not enjoy so much sex with her first husband, Ben Hagman. Frankly, I moved the subject away from Maria von Trapp because it's been common knowledge for decades that the film was not a documentary. Common knowledge to me perhaps because I saw the Sound of Music in 1960 |

| Sondra Lee opined that Martin was probably asexual on the show. Our problem with Kaufman saying that it was a documentary is that it makes him sound far less authoritative. Anyone who knows the von Trapp story knows why the German drama is pivotal. |

| I watched the show again. It was Kaufman who made the point about Mary being asexual. You are right about Kaufman saying the von Trapp film was a documentary. However, in his book, Kaufman quotes Richard Rodgers, as follows, "The German picture had very little singing in it, was more or less a dramatic story about the Trapp family." Either way. Kaufman spoke incorrectly on Theater Talk I agree that it is a major mistake. |

| Sondra Lee strongly statement by far was that she barely knew Martin. | |
