Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Fans

[ Edited ]

I was (and still am) a major fan of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", 1968.

 

One of its stars, the lovely Sally Ann Howes, has passed away at 91.

How sad.  That movie was and is still wonderful to watch, a movie that can Truly (pun intended) stand the test of time. Sally Ann Howes was such a beautiful actress.

 

I remember the tiny dolls that were made for the four main characters.  A friend had them, and they were adorable.

My cousin bought this car years ago. and had it in his shop in Blacksville, WV. I remember my husband and I stopped to see it.Was a beautiful vehicle. I think he's passed on now. I don't remember too much about the movie or the people in it, but may she RIP.

Sorry I didn't see your thread and just started one. Would have helped if her name was in the title. I'll ask the mods to delete mine.

Thanks for putting the title of the movie in the reference line. I knew the movie, but didn't remember the star's name. Lovely looking lady.

Ms. Howes also replaced Julie Andrews in the Broadway production of "My Fair Lady" to great acclaim and a Life magazine cover:

Truly Scrumptious
Though we may seem presumptuous
Never, never, ever go away

 

May she rest in peace.

Enchanting movie. I remember seeing it in the drive-in as a little kid-  Loved it, but the kid-catching scenes and dungeon scenes did scare me. Such a wuss...

 

Rest in peace, And thank you, Sally Ann Howes. 😢💝
