Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang - Heather Ripley and Adrian Hall
by Claire J Rottenberg
Both of the child stars of "Chitty, Chitty,
Bang, Bang," Heather Ripley and Adrian Hall,
had very short film careers. Ripley's only film
was "Chitty" and she disappeared from the
film industry after the movie was completed. As a
teenager, she modeled and acted for a short time, but
then she left the business again to study to be an
optician. Today, Ripley is an environmental activist
in Scotland.
Adrian Hall appeared in two other films after
"Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang" and he did
some television work. He now uses his talents to help
other performers in his role as Head of Production
with the GSA Conservatoire for Acting and Musical
Theatre in England.
