The iconic British sitcom “Fawlty Towers” continues to resonate with audiences around the world, thanks to its sharp humor and unforgettable characters. However, as the years pass, many of the talented actors who brought this beloved show to life have sadly passed away. A recent tribute highlights 35 actors from “Fawlty Towers” who are no longer with us, celebrating their significant contributions to television history.

Among the notable names is Burn Cribbons, who portrayed the eccentric Mr. Hutchinson. Born on December 29, 1928, Cribbons captured audiences’ hearts with his comedic misunderstandings before passing away in July 2022 at the age of 93. Another memorable character, Andre, was played by André Morane, a well-mannered French chef who contrasted the chaos of the hotel. Morane, who died in April 2021 at 94, was also known for his role in the “Pink Panther” films.

The con artist Lord Melbury, played by Michael Gwyn, added a touch of deception to the show, while Andrew Sachs, who embodied Manuel, became a fan-favorite for his endearing, albeit linguistically challenged, portrayal. Sachs passed away in November 2016 at the age of 86, leaving behind a legacy of laughter.

Other notable actors included Jeffrey Palmer as Dr. Price and Paul Ballard Berkeley as Major Gowen. Their performances contributed to the show’s humor and charm. The list also remembers stars like David Kelly, who portrayed O’Reilly, and Joan Sanderson, known for her role as the demanding Mrs. Richards.
