I have never noticed before, but Connie Booth’s (Polly) Breasts are magnificent! It was in the second episode - she was wearing a thin, tight top and no bra - my eyes were fixed! She’s probably an OAP now! argh my brain is being ripped apart. Sorry if this thread is a bit low-brow but when you’ve gotta express a feeling you’ve gotta express a feeling! ---

An eye-opener rather than low brow? Connie was John’s real life wife. Women like her are a danger to zero population growth. Nice looks _and_ a big sense of humor? Another actress who turns in several not-very-far-from-X-rated walks is Honor Blackman, in “The Avengers”. There’s one episode where a student in art class is sculpting a “model” in clay. It’s just that the model is obviously Honor Blackman, without her clothes. I’m pretty sure I’m not old enough to watch that show. ---

Old Age Pentioner It is a commonly used term (in the UK at least) to mean ‘old person’ A person of an age of roughly 60. I apologise - I should have used a more international word. ---

Actually, wasn’t she his _ex_-wife during that show’s run? (In real life, that is.) ---

Gee, and I thought this might have something to do with the anagram that showed up on the hotel’s sign in one episode. 😉 ---

And she’s completely naked in a movie called something like “Love and a Double Bass.” The best Fawlty shot was the one where she was on a date or some such thing and came into the lobby with her beau, she was wearing a string top with no brassiere and it was very cold in there. Fawlty came in as he (the date) had his finger in her top and pulled it very provacatively toward himself in order to get a smooch, and Fawlty as a reaction said something along the lines of “Polly would you please get dressed because we’ve decided against the idea of the topless afternoon tea.” A gorgeous woman. ---

Because I can - [here](http://homepages.manx.net/lobley/cap502_web.jpg) is the scene in question. And, on the subject of noticing people (I found this picture while I was searching for the other one, and I just had to post it) - [here](http://homepages.manx.net/lobley/cap459_web.jpg) is someone I have not failed to notice every single second she’s on screen. Oh boy. ohhh boyoboyoboy. A sight for sore eyes This girl is! ---

I never failed to notice the attractiveness of Connie Booth or her breasts. One of the high points of the series really. She is a beautiful woman. I wonder if she would be greatly amused that a group of folks are discussing the quality of her breasts on a MB? ---

I’ve lusted after Connie nearly my entire life… from the age of 7 when I first saw Fawlty Towers, some 23 years ago. A fine looking woman. ---

Forgret Connie! Ever since I found that picture of NP (see previous post for a link) CB has been the last person on my mind. Let’s discuss Natalie! I am hoping and praying she’ll be in Star Wars Episode 3 (“Rise of the Empire” is my guess at the likely title) ---

Well, the SDMB really does fight ignorance and keep abreast of the most important things of life. Both of them. ---

Talking of Natalie Portman, and in the context of this thread: Does anyone else remember an all-too-brief scene in the Stars Wars II trails of said Ms Portman in a tight white top, no bra? I kept an eye out for it in the film 😉 and I’m sure it didn’t make an appearance. Please tell me, did I dream the trailer?!
