“[We] should have ended up together. We should have had a huge smashing

In the 1965 film, Andrews played the nun Maria who fell in love with Plummer’s character Captain von Trapp.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
During the movie’s production, both Andrews and Plummer were in dissolving marriages.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“Truthfully, I was not terribly happy at the time. I was quite lonely. 
Tony was working, and our marriage was a little rocky, my first 
husband,” Andrews told Diane Sawyer. </div>

With his impending separation from his wife, Plummer’s solution was to 
go out every night playing piano and drinking in hotels. Andrews, on 
location without her husband, celebrated set designer Tony Walton, spent
 her nights in her hotel room alone with her nearly 2-year-old daughter 
Emma.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“I did have Emma, but I was so busy. I mean, I literally was almost in every shot, just about,” Andrews said.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Though she did have a crush on Plummer, Andrews said their relationship never amounted to anything more than friendship.
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“We were never an item, as they say,” Andrews said. “But now we are the 
best of friends. We became the best of friends, and that's lovely … 
probably because we weren't an item.”
