Constance "Connie" Booth (born 31 January 1944) is an American-born writer and actress, known for appearances on British television and particularly for her portrayal of Polly Sherman in the popular 1970s television show Fawlty Towers, which she co-wrote with her then-husband John Cleese.
Booth's father was a Wall Street stock broker and her mother a housewife. Originally from rural Indiana, they moved to New Rochelle, New York, where, after performing in high school productions, Booth went on to study drama in New York City, where she worked as a waitress. She married John Cleese on February 20, 1968.
Booth secured parts in episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus and in the Python film And Now for Something Completely Different. She also appeared in Monty Python and the Holy Grail as a woman accused of being a witch; in How to Irritate People, a pre-Monty Python film starring Cleese and other future Monty Python members; and in The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It (Cleese's Sherlock Holmes spoof, as Mrs. Hudson).

Our Miss Brooks radio show 6/23/48 Audition Show with Eve Arden
This is the audition show (today it would be called a pilot) featuring Eve Arden as Connie Brooks. Shirley Booth was the producers' first choice to play Connie, but after Booth's audition show, it seemed that she wasn't able to get beyond the financial plight of teachers to find the comedy in the role. Lucille Ball was approached next, but was unavailable. Arden ended up with the role, which suited her wry delivery perfectly, and it became the role with which she was most identified. www.otrcomedy.com -

Communication Problems - Fawlty Towers - 2014 KHS Fall Play (#2 of 3)
Under the direction of Marc Nelson, the KHS Theater Department will be presented Fawlty Towers on Saturday, November 1st at 7:00pm and again on Sunday, November 2nd at 2:00pm.
Fawlty Towers is based on the BBC television sitcom that was first broadcast on BBC2 in 1975 and 1979. Twelve episodes were made (two series, each of six episodes). The show was written by John Cleese and his then-wife Connie Booth, both of whom also starred in the show.
The series is set in Fawlty Towers, a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay, on the "English Riviera". The plots centre around tense, rude and put-upon owner Basil Fawlty, his bossy wife Sybil, comparatively normal chambermaid Polly, and hapless Spanish waiter Manuel, showing their attempts to run the hotel amidst farcical situations and an array of demanding and eccentric guests.
In a list drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted by industry professionals, Fawlty Towers was named the best British television series of all time.

This is the audition show (today it would be called a pilot) featuring Eve Arden as Connie Brooks.
Shirley Booth was the producers' first choice to play Connie, but after Booth's audition show, it seemed that she wasn't able to get beyond the financial plight of teachers to find the comedy in the role. Lucille Ball was approached next, but was unavailable. Arden ended up with the role, which suited her wry delivery perfectly, and it became the role with which she was most identified.

Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very "feline" in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. "I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton," she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.

Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very "feline" in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. "I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton," she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.

Fawlty Towers star Prunella Scales ‘disappearing’, husband Timothy West says
ACTOR Timothy West has told of his heartbreak at watching wife Prunella Scales “disappear” before his eyes as she slowly succumbs to dementia. In a remarkably candid interview, the veteran star — who found a new audience playing EastEnders’ Stan Carter last year — praised her for battling the disease and spoke of his enduring love for the Fawlty Towers icon. Timothy, 81, said: “The sad thing is, you just watch the gradual disappearance of the person you knew and loved and were very close to. “A lot of her has left, but we still enjoy life and there’s still a lot Pru is able to enjoy and we are able to do together.” The Sun reports that Scales, 83 — who played Sybil Fawlty opposite John Cleese’s Basil in classic 1970s sitcom Fawlty Towers — has been increasingly affected by dementia over a... -

ACTOR Timothy West has told of his heartbreak at watching wife Prunella Scales “disappear” before his eyes as she slowly succumbs to dementia.
In a remarkably candid interview, the veteran star — who found a new audience playing EastEnders’ Stan Carter last year — praised her for battling the disease and spoke of his enduring love for the Fawlty Towers icon.
Timothy, 81, said: “The sad thing is, you just watch the gradual disappearance of the person you knew and loved and were very close to.
“A lot of her has left, but we still enjoy life and there’s still a lot Pru is able to enjoy and we are able to do together.”
The Sun reports that Scales, 83 — who played Sybil Fawlty opposite John Cleese’s Basil in classic 1970s sitcom Fawlty Towers — has been increasingly affected by dementia over a number of years.
West first realised something was wrong when he watched her performing on stage more than 15 years ago.
“It has stunned everyone that it’s developed so slowly. It was a play that Pru was in at Greenwich,” he said. “It wasn’t that Pru had forgotten her lines or didn’t say them properly, it was that I could see her thinking.
“I knew there was something wrong — for quite a long time we didn’t know what it was.”
Today, despite the condition’s worsening effects, Scales continues to work on projects including radio scripts.
The couple recently won praise for their 2014 Channel 4 travelogue Great Canal Journeys, which besides celebrating their love of Britain’s waterways, shone a light on living with dementia.
“It’s not Alzheimer’s, it’s a related kind of dementia. It develops very gradually,” West said. “If you live from day to day then it’s manageable, but it’s when you start thinking about the past — What a shame she can’t do that any more, or she can’t appreciate that any more or we can’t talk about that any more — then it’s sad.
“We have been so lucky, and we are still so lucky to do things like the canal series — that we can still do things which are contributing to each other,” he said.
West is full of praise for how Scales has met her illness head-on, refusing to give in and remaining active.
“She is somebody who realises that to keep going is tremendously important,” he said. “She values an awful lot of things about our life — our house and our garden, she’s a very good gardener. And our family — we have such a big family now. I became a great-grandfather the other day.”
The couple have been married for 52 years and are parents to Joseph and actor Samuel.
Speaking on ITV’s Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, with Scales looking on from the audience, West said: “She’s been absolutely vital to my life.
“I think we loved and respected each other on all sorts of different levels — the way we worked, the way we thought, the way we were.
“We just felt that it was going to work, and it has. Pru hasn’t got a temper, I don’t think. If she has, then she keeps it very much under control. I do flare up occasionally.”
The couple never considered keeping her illness a secret, but West admits that bravely speaking out has cost Scales a number of acting jobs which she is still capable of taking on.
“In a way it’s courageous but in another way not to do it would be dishonest, especially if we are going to appear on television together,” he said. “Enough people know about the condition to think, ‘Why aren’t they mentioning it?’

beautiful princess, and decides to spend his extra time skinny dipping in
the nearby lake. The princess (Booth), meanwhile, has gone fishing at
the lake, and later decides to go skinny dipping as well. However, things
change when a thief absconds with both Smychkov's and the Princess'
clothes, and while the Princess is wandering around, she meets
Smychkov. After their initially embarrassing encounter, he tries to help
her return to the castle by hiding her in his bass case.
