My Take
What fascinates me about Connie Booth is the quiet refusal to be defined by fame. She didn't just play Polly on Fawlty Towers, she co-wrote it alongside Cleese, which means she helped build one of the most surgically precise sitcoms ever made. Then, in 1995, she walked away from acting entirely to become a psychotherapist. I find that pivot genuinely admirable: from getting laughs to listening deeply. There's an unshowy integrity in choosing a private, useful life over the spotlight, and it makes her comedy work feel even sharper in hindsight.
