Acting career

Booth landed roles in Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969–74) and in the Python films And Now for Something Completely Different (1971) and Monty Python's The Holy Grail (1975) as a woman accused of being a witch). She appeared in How to Irritate People (1968), a pre-Monty Python film starring Cleese and other potential Monty Python actors; and The Strange Case of Civilization (1974), Cleese's Sherlock Holmes spoof (1977) as Mrs. Hudson.

Booth and Cleese co-wrote and co-starred in Fawlty Towers (1975 to 1979), in which she appeared as waitress and chambermaid Polly. Before she agreed to work on a documentary about the series for the digital channel Gold in 2009, Booth refused to talk about it for thirty years.

In a dramatization of Edith Wharton's The Buccaneers (1995), Booth appeared in various roles on British television, including Sophie in Dickens of London (1976), Mr. Errol in a BBC adaptation of Little Lord Fauntleroy (1980) and Miss March (1995). She appeared in The Story of Ruth (1981), in which she appeared as the schizophrenic daughter of an abusive father for whom she received critical acclaim. In 1994, she appeared in "The Culex Experiment," an episode of the children's science fiction television series "The Tomorrow People."

Booth also performed in ten productions from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s, most in the London Theatre, including appearing with Sir John Mills in the 1983-1984 West End production of Little Lies at Wyndham's Theatre.
