Born: November 22, 1940 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Married to: Maggie Weston (1973 – present) (3 children)

He and John Cleese are the only members of ‘Monty Python’ to be nominated for Oscars. Coincidentally, they were both for Best Original Screenplay, Gilliam for Brazil (1985) and Cleese for A Fish Called Wanda (1988). Both screenplays did not win their Oscars, and both films featured Michael Palin.

“My main concern is to protect the film, and sometimes even I can get in the way of the film. If I’m causing a problem for the ultimate film, then I’ve got to be stopped, and I tell this to everybody who works with me. They find it hard to believe, but they finally do say, ‘Terry, you can’t do it.’
