Sally Ann Howes, who began her acting career as a child and was best known for starring in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” oppositeHer death was confirmed by her nephew, Toby Howes, who tweeted: “I can also confirm the passing of my beloved Aunty Sally Ann Howes who died peacefully in her sleep yesterday. My brother & I thought Sally Ann might hold on until the Christmas screening of ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ as this would have greatly appealed to her mischievous side.
The film, about a schoolgirl who becomes a successful child actor, was in many ways prophetic, launching Howes’ film career. In the 1950s Howes, a soprano, traded the big screen for the boards and focused on the theatre, which she once described as a “drug.” She was particularly enamored with musical theater, although she would continue to make the occasional television show and film, including “The Fifth Column” with Richard Burton.
After Howes was nominated for a Tony award for her performance in Lerner and Loewe’s “Brigadoon” at the New York City Opera in 1962 , the show was made into a television series, with Howes reprising her role as Fiona.
