Prunella Scales, the British actress who became a household name playing the long-suffering and domineering Sybil Fawlty on the Britcom Fawlty Towers, has died. She was 93.
Scales’ sons, Samuel and Joseph West, confirmed her death via social media on Tuesday morning, sharing that their mother “died peacefully at home in London” on Monday.
“Although dementia forced her retirement from a remarkable acting career of nearly 70 years, she continued to live at home,” her sons wrote. “She was watching ‘Fawlty Towers’ the day before she died.”
Scales was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2013.
