Not only a comic genius but a deeply intelligent and scholarly man. His occasional historical programs were a delight. R.I.P.

Terry Jones, one of the founding members of Monty Python, has died at the age of 77. Jones is survived by his wife, Anna Soderstrom. Jones sad passing was confirmed on January 22 by his agent who gave various statements to British media outlets. The BBC reports that Soderstrom was by his side as he passed away.
Soderstrom said in a statement, βWe have all lost a kind, funny, warm, creative and truly loving man whose uncompromising individuality, relentless intellect and extraordinary humor has given pleasure to countless millions across six decades. His work with Monty Python, his books, films, television programs, poems and other work will live on forever, a fitting legacy to a true polymath.β Jones, a native of Colwyn Bay, a small town on the Welsh coast, was an Oxford University graduate, as was his lifelong writing partner, Michael Palin. Together with Cambridge University graduates, Eric Idle, John Cleese and Graham Chapman, as well as American director Terry Gilliam, the group formed Monty Python. Through their television series and movies, βMonty Python and the Holy Grail,β βLife of Brianβ and βThe Meaning of Life,β the group became one of the most influential comedy troupes in the history of popular culture. |
