About Carol Cleveland

Carol Cleveland (born Carol Gillian Frances on 13 January 1942) is an English actor, comedian, dancer, and model. She has performed in dozens of productions for stage and screen, in a career that spans more than 60 years. She is best known, however, for her performances with the comedy troupe Monty Python. Born in London, Cleveland relocated to the United States at age five with her mother and American stepfather. She soon began ballet lessons before moving on to modern dance, acting, and modelling. After she graduated from high school in 1960, she and her family returned to London, where Cleveland was accepted into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Many roles on stage and screen later, she was cast in a new programme called Monty Python's Flying Circus. She went on to appear in 32 of the 45 episodes of Flying Circus, and all four Monty Python feature films, as well as Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1982) and Monty Python Live (Mostly) (2014), among other productions.
