Who is Camilla Cleese? The Fawlty Towers Revival Has Found its Leading Lady…

Who is Camilla Cleese? Bazaar Arabia shares everything we know about the British comedienne who will star alongside her father in the upcoming Fawlty Towers reboot.
If there’s anything audiences love more than a revival of a cult classic series, it’s father-daughter appearances on screen. Earlier today it was announced the famous British sitcom Fawlty Towers would be making a comeback, with John Cleese stepping back into the role of Basil — and this time he will be joined by his daughter, Camilla Cleese, on screen.
While the details are still sparse, it seems part of the plotline will revolve around Basil meeting a daughter he didn’t know he had, according to the BBC.
While there is plenty of information out there on the web about one of the UK’s most notable British comedians, John’s daughter, Camilla Cleese, keeps a relatively low profile. Here, Bazaar Arabia shares everything we know about the British-American writer and comedienne.
Who is Camilla Cleese?
How old is Camilla Cleese?
Camilla was born in 1984 in the United Kingdom, making her 39 years old.
Who is Camilla Cleese’s mother?
The late American model-turned-actress, Barbara Trentham, is Camilla Cleese’s mother. Having graced the covers of many notable glossy magazines, she began her career in fashion before pivoting to the silver screen, starring in films like Rollerball.
Barbara was John Cleese’s second wife. The pair were married in 1981 and were divorced in 1990. Barbara passed away in 2013 from complications related to leukemia.
She resides in LA.
Camilla has been trying to make her way within the entertainment industry as a comedian, producer, and writer. While she has gone on tour for her stand-up, the actress has made appearances in a number of unknown films.
Starring alongside her father in Fawlty Towers will be her biggest role to date.
She’s tried her hand at modeling.
Take a scroll through her feed on Instagram and it’s no surprise the blond bombshell has a photo shoot (or two, or three) under her belt.
It seems, however, Camilla has recently been focused on her career as a comedian and modeling has been firmly put on the back burner.
When is the Fawlty Towers revival coming out?
While it has been confirmed that the deal has been closed and a modern-day version of the British comedy will soon return to television, with Basil reappearing as one of the lead characters, an official release date has yet to be announced.
