Connie Booth
Nude

It would be hard to guess the truth about trim bit of hot blonde stuff Connie Booth. Married to British comedian John Cleese soon after appearing with him in the film How to Irritate People (1968), Connie went on to accompany her husband by playing various characters on the definitively English comedy series Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Who would have guessed that rather than being a lissome Brit Connie is actually a corn-fed filly from Indianapolis, Indiana? She met John while both were working in New York City. John scooped her up and brought her into the world of British comedy. As Polly Sherman, the house maid on her and John’s sitcom of uptight manners Fawlty Towers, Connie bustled with a prim self-containment that was all the more sexually alluring for its almost complete absence of overt eroticism. Who would have guessed that Ms. Booth had gone fully buff, with beaver and all the trimmings, in Romance with a Double Bass (1974)? Mr. Skin would have guessed, that’s who. Connie and John divorced in 1978, but not before appearing together in the Python flicks And Now for Something Completely Different (1971) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), as well as in the Sherlock Holmes spoof The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It (1977). Connie subsequently acted in shows like Floodtide and The Tomorrow People and movies like Little Lord Fauntleroy (1980) and High Spirits (1988) before retiring from the profession in 1995. Thereafter she became a psychotherapist. We’d take psychotherapy from Connie if it meant seeing her juicy Jungs.
