Cult TV Productions
The Monty Python Girl
CAROL CLEVELAND A Londoner at birth, Carol Cleveland moved to America at the age of five only to return to the UK shores in 1960 to study at RADA.

Starting with guest roles in The Saint, and the adventure series The Sentimental Agent, Carol frequently appeared in many of the ITC series. In fact in two productions; ‘The Sitting Pigeon’ episode of Man In A Suitcase, and ‘For the Girl Who has Everything’ episode of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) she even wore the same dress. As one of the guests invited to The Hellfire Club, she appeared in the infamous episode of The Avengers, ‘A Touch of Brimstone.’

More famously, Carol became known as ‘the Python Girl’ after appearing in Monty Python’s Flying Circus, a role that led to her inclusion in all of the Python films, stage shows and recordings.

Other television work includes guest appearances in the sitcoms Are You Being Served? and Only Fools and Horses, About Face, The Two Ronnies and Land of Hope and Gloria. Although predominantly known for her light comedy, Carol considers some of her best TV work was as Leigh Mervish in Michael J Bird’s drama, The Lotus Eaters, set amongst the expat community on the island of Crete.

With a film career that has included roles in Moon Zero Two, Vampira and The Return of the Pink Panther, on stage, Carol has played leading roles in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Lenny at London’s Criterion Theatre. With twenty national tours to her credit, including runs of Not Now Darling, Miss Julie, as well as a far East tour of Two and Two Make Sex. More recently she appeared in The Front Page at the Festival Theatre, Chichester.

Carol has written her own one-woman show, Pom Poms Up, a wry, autobiographical, look at the glamour business. First performed at the Brighton Festival and later, onboard the QE2. Lucky attendees to the 1996 Cult TV Festival were delighted to be treated to extracts from the show as part of that year’s cabaret.

Carol was also a guest at the Cult TV Festival in the UK in 1995 and 2002.
