Monty Python and the Holy Grail star Carol Cleveland | BFI Q&A

[@catherineroskrow6662]

Carol is a very close family friend. My family and I lived in California and she would babysit us on occasion. We all came back to the UK together, and have remained friends. We regularly call each other. She is definitely the 7th Python!

She lives a few miles from me in a certain seaside town . .and have seen her around town on a few occasions . . . Carol Nought to lovely in a heartbeat.

[@douglaslally156]

It's interesting hearing her hybrid British/American accent. Even though she was born in London she was raised in the states and returned to England at age 18 as an American. Funny how she can switch off one accent for another. Oh and the most hilarious part she played with Python was Zoot . "You must give us all a good spanking!"

Its the same thing with Christopher Nolan he grew up splitting between London and Chicago

[@joydivider42]

Yes I love Carol. Definitely The Seventh Python! :)

[@bgmnzz]

God bless and keep this woman forever!!

[@JimNobles-gv4ky]

We love you Carol

[@hagiosp]

had such a crush on her in the 70s

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

Kinda sad hearing her talking about Neil and Terry J. knowing that they'd both no longer be with us within the next few months of this being recorded. : (

[@PaulDiBenedetto]

She is the 7th Python. She was an important player.

[@hilaryepstein6013]

Carol was the perfect real lady for the Pythons - she was sexy but she got their humour. It must have been fantastic to work with them but I understand her being a bit miffed that she was typecast and lost out on other work. I saw her the other day in Father Dear Father, a comedy from 1969 but she had a fairly straight role - she was very good.

Legend. Phwoar!

[@marvinc999]

In her day, Carol was almost UNBELIEVABLY sexy - and her true Ladylike quality made her even more so.

[@sbgaming5006]

She was, you're so right. I watched an old Python episode last night, the one with Mr. Putey and her at a marriage counsellors. God, she was awesome!! Not bad now tbh!!

[@marvinc999]

@@sbgaming5006 "at a marriage counsellors" Indeed, indeed: Carol as the archetypal Sixties Dolly Bird - it doesn't get any better than that. Things seem to have gone rather downhill since (unless, that is, you into giant tattooed amoebae waddling between the supermarket aisles with their revolting offspring).

[@bennyhillconsideredfunnier3356]

Nope! Benny Hill had lots of women just as great as her on his greater show!

[@sbgaming5006]

@@bennyhillconsideredfunnier3356 in your opinion

[@bennyhillconsideredfunnier3356]

Hope Not PC Nope pure fact. The TV stations that did so we're the prestigious WLVI ( out of like Boston) and WOR (very popular all over America).

[@carls.2649]

Oh, the lovely and dear Carol. The crush that got me through puberty.

[@stephenlewis7770]

Her and Linda Thorson.

[@ShadowLady-s6t]

Carol Cleveland is my total fav

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

I remember my mom laughing uproariously at "come back! ... ohhhhhhhhh, SHIT."

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

Loved her then, love her now.

[@johnsmyth2471]

Crushes there was Carol, MaryAnn(Gillian's Isle), Barbara(Jeannie) and Jan(Bailey Quarters)

Carol was a Monty python she was great loved the virgin Spanky sketch in holy grail

[@harryturner8701]

And Connie Booth is the 8th

[@dietpepsivanilla3095]

Carol in stockings and a garter belt poster could have made zillions for her. Loved her. Still do.

How could you not recall John Cleese? 6'5" tall.

Carol Cleveland - the only Python who never gets any respect. I hope she's a multimillionaire.
