<P> In 1960, she made her TV debut . "I look for the quality story and for parts that I think will be good or fun . People told me I was crazy to do Hole in the Head and Home from the Hill but both those pictures appealed to me . I did enough of the bad ones (films) while I was under contract - because I was being told to do them . That's the problem with being under contract . You do the pictures or be suspended . Now I don't want to work unless I have faith in the part . This has nothing to do with wanting to be famous or anything like that . It's just that I love acting ." </P> <P> In the early 1960s, she worked increasingly in television, with the occasional film role such as Panic Button (1964). </P> <P> Parker's best - known screen role was playing Baroness Elsa Schraeder in the 1965 Oscar - winning musical The Sound of Music . The Baroness was famously and poignantly unsuccessful in keeping the affections of Captain Georg von Trapp (played by Christopher Plummer) after he falls in love with Maria (played by Julie Andrews). </P> <P> In 1966, she played an alcoholic widow in the crime drama Warning Shot, a talent scout who discovers a Hollywood star in The Oscar, and a rich alcoholic in An American Dream . From the late 1960s, television would occupy more of her energies . </P>
