From Quiz Not Who I Used To Be

Although it appeared so in the film, Duane Chase did not in fact sing the high notes in "So Long Farewell" as this was above his singing range. Instead, this was sung by Charmian Carr's sister, Darleen Carr. Chase was a mischievous 13 year old when he played the part of Kurt, often misbehaving behind the camera as well as in front. He went on to star in one more film, the 1966 Disney film, "Follow Me Boys". By this time, he had saved up all his earnings so that he could give up acting to study Geology, obtaining his Masters degree from the University of Alabama.

He married a nurse in 1987 and still keeps in touch with the cast of "The Sound of Music" by meeting up at anniversary events.

At the time, Coleman was less then four feet tall due to a kidney ailment. Coleman was one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood until the show was cancelled in 1986. The 18 year-old Coleman had difficulty gaining new parts since casting directors only wanted him to play a kid. In addition, he accused his parents of mismanaging his earnings from the series and sued them in 1989. He won the case in 1993, but filed for bankruptcy six years later.

Peller died in 1987.
