Prunella Scales – 90 Years Old

Prunella Scales cemented her place in comedy history when she starred in John Cleese’s hit sitcom Fawlty Towers in the ‘70s. She proved her range when she was nominated for her dramatic portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II on the BBC’s Screen One in the ‘90s.

These days, though, it’s her enduring love story with her actor husband Timothy West that’s impressing TV viewers. The couple, already married for almost six decades, presented the travel program Great Canal Journeys from 2014 to 2019. Scales and West continue to travel together as of 2021, although they’ve taken a step back from hosting.
