LONDON (Reuters) -British actress Prunella Scales, best known for playing Sybil Fawlty in comedy show "Fawlty Towers", has died age 93, her sons said in a statement on Tuesday. Scales' seven-decade acting career saw her in multiple roles from the 1950s, including in 1960s sitcom "Marriage Lines", before she played the domineering Sybil, wife of John Cleese's Basil Fawlty, in two series of Fawlty Towers in 1975 and 1979. Scales was married to actor Timothy West for 61 years. He died last November. She had been suffering from dementia. "Our darling mother Prunella Scales died peacefully at home in London yesterday," the statement from her two sons said. "She was watching Fawlty Towers the day before she died." The sitcom set in a hotel in the seaside resort of Torquay show became one of Britain's best-known comedies and continues to be broadcast and referenced in popular culture. It was developed into a theatre production that moved to London's West End in 2024. (Reporting by Sarah Young; editing by Paul Sandle)
