Cynthia Cleese
Cynthia Christine Cleese (born 17 February 1971) is a British actress.
Biography[edit]
The daughter of British actor John Cleese and American actress Connie Booth, she is best known for A Fish Called Wanda (1988), where she played daughter Portia to Cleese's character Archie Leach. She was credited as Cynthia Caylor, using her maternal grandmother's maiden name.[1]
Cleese again starred with her father in the 1997 film Fierce Creatures. She played the supporting role of Pip, the small-mammals keeper at the Marwood Zoo. In this film, which was co-produced and co-written by John Cleese, she is credited with her own name rather than a stage name. In the film, she repeats her father's well-known Black Knight line: "It's just a flesh wound!"
Personal life[edit]
Cleese married screenwriter Ed Solomon in the mid-1990s.[2] They have two children together.[2]

I didn't want Cynthia started in acting with the name Cleese because there'd be such expectations. So she's taken her mother's mother's name.
