Former Monty Python Leader - John Cleese has been married 3-times. A long-time sufferer of manic behaviour (
I suspect exploited by Shrinks), married in 1992 a psychiatrist whom he rescued from her former residence in a council house, where she lived with her two-children from her own former marriage.
Cleese has to pay £600,000 a year to psychotherapist Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
— Reduced by a Judge from £106,000 to £57,000 per month.
At ~73yrs now,
Simpson Cleese who is being interviewed at length on Britain's Classic FM music station tonight and sounds amazingly light-hearted despite being tied to a £20,000,000 (
Yes, 20Million) Alimony payment to this same psychiatrixt and ex-wife - Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
Cleese has since several years already been embarked on a performing tour to finance the bailing-out of his latest ex.
"The Alimony Tour" is currently in london. Cleese still lives in the States which is the only place he can afford to live with the prospect of an added 50% tax on any payments made if he returns to the UK, which is his ultimate wish however.

Sadly, John, to whom I once sang the Lumberjack song whilst cutting down a tree outside his West-London home, still believes he has psychiatric issues, like a dread of mortality, perhaps, which I hope won't drive him to marrying anymore shrinks...
