The actress was 91 years old.

Actress Sally Ann Howes, who is best known for her role as Truly Scrumptious in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, has died. She was 91.

Howes died on Sunday in a hospital in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as first reported by The Times of London. She was a longtime resident of nearby West Palm Beach.

Howes has been considered by some as the "grand dame of Broadway and the West End," as she starred in Paint Your Wagon, My Fair Lady, Brigadoon, and What Makes Sammy Run?, among many other productions.

In Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which was adapted by Roald Dahl from the Ian Fleming 1964 children’s novel, Howes starred as Truly, the aristocratic daughter of a confectionery magnate, alongside Dick Van Dyke's inventor Caractacus Potts. Howes performed memorable numbers such as "Toot Sweets," "Lovely Lonely Man," "Hushabye Mountain" and, most famously, "Doll on a Music Box"—which found the actress dressed as a wound-up figurine.

In regards to the "Music Box" number, Howes had previously said, "It was the most difficult thing in the whole world. I really was very proud of it. I did it on the set. I was a bit nervous about it, with about 150 extras [looking on]. They put me up on this box and off I went. And I got it in one take!"
