Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yvonne Gilan (born 1930) is an English actress who is best remembered for her portrayal of Mrs. Peignoir in Fawlty Towers. In 1964 she wrote a short fantasy film, The Peaches, starring Juliet Harmer, with a small cameo role for her son, Adrian as a bespectacled chess player. The film became the British choice for the Cannes Film Festival, and won several international awards. Her Fawlty Towers appearance in The Wedding Party, first transmitted on 3 October 1975, was as a French antique dealer who seems to have a soft spot for Basil Fawlty. She had an unusual take on his character: Are you a romantic, Mr. Fawlty ? ... Well, I think you are. I think beneath that English exterior throbs a passion that would make Lord Byron look like a tobacconist.
