-- the New Yorker
Half a Sixpence
John Cleese and Terry Gilliam met while appearing in a West End production of the musical Half a Sixpence, starring Tommy Steele. It was in the same production that Cleese met his future wife Connie Booth. The book for Half a Sixpence was written by Beverley Cross, later married to Maggie Smith.
