Biography

As she came from a theatrical background, it was inevitable that an agent friend of the Howes family eventually suggested the young Sally Ann Howes for a role in an upcoming movie, and he submitted a fuzzy picture of her. Sally Ann got her first film audition on her 12th birthday and was cast in the title role of Thursday's Child (1943). A second film, The Halfway House (1944), led to her being put under contract by Michael Balcon of Ealing Studios, and this led to many other film roles as a child actress including Dead of Night (1945) with Sir Michael Redgrave, Pink String and Sealing Wax (1946), Nicholas Nickleby (1947), My Sister and I (1948), Anna Karenina (1948), opposite Vivien Leigh. She said of Vivien Leigh, "She always made you feel that you were the most important person in her life. Apart from her great physical beauty, she was the kindest of friends with the most beautiful manners. You don't get that in the theatre today. You didn't get it then." Of being a child actor, she said to Brenda Baxter in "Woman" magazine in 1969, "In some ways I regret being a child actor. It's a very lonely life. You're working with adults, and you're expected to be professional like an adult. But you're treated as a child and if you're successful, it's because you're a child. So, there's always this great conflict of values." Dead of Night (1945) is a British anthology horror film, rare for the period, directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dreaden and Robert Hamer. ...

At age 18 she was given a new, seven-year contract, this time by J. Arthur Rank, and she went on to make the films, Stop Press Girl (1949), The History of Mr. Polly (1949) opposite John Mills, Fools Rush In (1949), and Due mogli sono troppe (1950) aka Honeymoon Deferred (UK). In 1950 her contract with Rank was terminated, and unhappy with the films and being on "loan out" with Rank, she refused to ever be under studio contract again. Her career was moving in other media directions anyhow, and she was finding gainful employment in television and radio, and she was looking to flex her singing talent, something that both Balcon and Rank had overlooked. While still in her teens, she made her first musical-comedy stage appearence in Fancy Free. In late 1950 starred in a BBC TV version of Cinderella.

In 1951 she began her professional musical stage career in Glasgow, Scotland, in the Sandy Wilson musical, Caprice in the revue that toured the British Isles for six months. This was followed by Bet Your Life opposite Julie Wilson, Arthur Askey and Brian Reece. She was also simultaneously on the radio with Arthur Askey and Brian Reece. In 1953 she starred on the West End in Paint Your Wagon with her father, Bobby Howes. The show ran for 18 months. It was followed by Summer Song, also on the West End, and she had firmly established herself as a leading musical comedy star on the West End. This was followed by her critically aclaimed performance in the stage drama, Hatful of Rain. In the early to mid-1950s, she also mixed her theater with television appearances and even modeling and product endorsements. She became a popular celebrity in England, even appearing as a comic-strip character in "TV Fun" comics and annuals, usually as a young, wholesome teacher in the wild American west at a time when Western TV shows were very popular. She appeared on the cover of many magazines, not the least of which was LIFE MAGAZINE (3 March 1958) when she came to the United States to take over My Fair Lady on Broadway.

She took a short break from the stage to film the popular The Admirable Crichton (1957). In late 1957 she was offered the part (for the third time) of taking over for Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady on Broadway so that Julie could join the cast in London. She accepted, but at a higher salary than Julie. She became an instant hit as a very fiery Eliza Doolittle. Americans audiences immediately fell in love with her and she with them, and she appeared on many TV shows including Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Jack Paar (who enjoyed introducing her as "Sally....an' how!"), The Tonight Show, plus appearing in The Bell Telephone Hour, The Kraft Music Hall, The United States Steel Hour. She appeared on Ed Sullivan's show four times, was personally requested to sing for three US Presidents (Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson), and was hugely popular.

She returned to Broadway in 1961 in the short run of Kwamina, another Adler musical which was written for her. She starred opposite Terry Carter, Brock Peters, and Robert Guillaume. The musical centered on an interracial love story and was too controversial in a time when civil rights were hotly contested. Thankfully, a recording was made of the music despite its extremely short run. The show has not had a Broadway revival since. Coincidentally, her father, Bobby Howes, was also on Broadway that year with a short revival of Finian's Rainbow, and a cast album exists of that show as well.

In 1967 she began the long film shoot for what would become a celebrated children's classic, and a role for which she would achieve new and everlasting fame, that of Truly Scrumptious in the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968). The film went significantly over budget, but was a smashing hit and a marketing phenomenon. The movie did not, however, restart her film career or launch a career for her in episodic television despite several guest-starring attempts and even the pilot Prudence and the Chief which was a spoof on The King and I. In addition, musicals were now failing at the box office and that venue was closed to her. As a result, she returned almost exclusively to the musical stage, appearing in only a few more films/TV productions. Her last film was the 1992 miniseries "Judith Krantz's Secrets." That marked her 50th year in film. "What I love about the British audiences," she said, "is that they never forget you. If you're away for two years and come back, they accept it. They welcome you. In America, especially in the theatre, you always have to prove yourself. With each performance, the attitude is, 'Sally Ann Howes? Who's she?'"

In the 1970's she toured Britain with The King and I and later the USA with The Sound of Music. Musically, in the 1970's, she began to cross over from regular musicals to operettas. She performed two summers with the Kenley Players in Blossom Time and The Great Waltz, and she later added Franz Lehar's The Merry Widow and then Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music at the New York City Opera to her repertoire.

Recent projects include her narrations of Cubby Broccoli, The Man Behind Bond on the 2000 year release of the DVD Diamonds Are Forever, The Making of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang The Musical (2002), and her appearance in the documentary, After They Were Famous - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (2004).

She has been married to Douglas Rae since the early 1970s. Except for occasional lectures, charity functions and some Broadway openings, she is mostly retired (as of 2005), although she still hosts events or performs two or three times per year.
