John Cleese has paid tribute to I’m Sorry, I’ll Read That Again star Jo Kendall following her death.
Kendall, who was a member of the 1963 Cambridge Footlights revue Cambridge Circus alongside Cleese, was 83 years old.
Actor Cleese took to Twitter to remember his friend and colleague in a series of tweets.
He began: ‘I woke to hear of dear Jo Kendall’s death She was in the 1963 Cambridge Footlights Revue which took her, Tim Brooke Taylor, Bill Oddie, David Hatch, Humphrey Barclay and me into Show Business. Jo performed in over 100 ‘I’m sorry I’ll read that Again’ shows and the 1948 show…’
He went on to describe her as ‘a very likeable, cheerful, friendly woman’ and ‘a delight to work with.’
‘I got to know her well on the 1964 Tour of New Zealand, and subsequently, our appearances on and off Broadway. She was an integral part of the ISIRTA team and we did countless ‘John and Mary’ sketches,’ he added.
Kendall acted in Grange Hill in the 1980s as the mother of Roland Browning too.
