∙ 15y agoIn The Sound of Music, the Mother Abbess was played by Peggy Wood. Sister Margaretta, a soft-hearted nun, was played by Anna Lee. The more strict Sister Berthe was played by Portia Nelson. The two nuns played an integral part in the climax of the movie when they revealed to the Mother Abbess that they had tampered with the Nazi's cars, thus preventing them from catching the fleeing von Trapp family. Sister Sophia (Marni Nixon) and Sister Bernice (Evadne Baker) were two other nuns that appeared in scenes set within the abbey, primarily in the How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? number.
