Biography
Graham Chapman was born on January 8, 1941 in Leicester, England
while a Germain air raid was in progress. Graham's father was a
chief police inspector and probably inspired the constables Graham
often portrayed later in comedy sketches. Graham studied medicine
in college and earned an M.D., but he practiced medicine for only a
few years. At Cambridge, he took part in a series of comedy revues
and shortly after completing his medical studies at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, Graham realized what he wanted to do with
his life. He wanted to perform comedy. In 1969, Graham along with
school friends John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones
and Terry Gilliam formed the own comedy group called Monty Python.
Their BBC TV series "Monty Python's Flying Circus, which aired a
short while later was a an instant hit. Their often
self-referential style of humor was delightfully original but
completely accessible to most audiences in Great Britian. Before
the show appeared on public television in the U.S.A., many people
assumed that Americans would find Monty Python much too British to
consider it funny. But PBS never had a larger audience than when
stations began to air it during the early 1970's. The classic
routines have since become standard college humor. So enduring was
the Python humor that fans know entire sketches such as "The Pet
Shop," "Nudge-Nudge, Wink-Wink," "Argument Clinic," and "Penguin on
the Telly." Graham was a standout of the group with his tall
profile and his zany characters (one of the more memorable was
Murial Volestrangler, a vaguely military-type character who would
stop a sketch because it was "much too silly"). Graham was openly
gay long before it was socially acceptable, for Graham made no
attempt to hide his homosexuality and was open about his long-term
relationship with writer David Sherlock, who were together for 24
years. Graham even adopted and raised a teenage runaway named John
Tomiczek. Graham played the title role in the movie Monty Python's
Life of Brian (1979) as well as King Arthur in Monty Python and the
Holy Grail (1975). By the late 1970s most of the Python members
were pursuing independent movie projects and the group slowly faded
into obscurity. In 1983 Graham co-wrote and starred in the movie
Yellowbeard which received negative reviews. In 1988, Graham began
working on another series when his health began to decline. A
longtime alcholic, who suffered liver damage before he stopped
drinking in 1977, Graham began feeling weak and pain. A routine
visit to the dentist revealed a malignant tumor on his tonsil which
was removed. A visit to the doctor revealed another tumor on his
spine which had to be removed which confinded him to a wheelchair.
During most of 1989, he underwent a series of operations and
radiation therapy but for every tumor that was found and removed,
another would form either along his spine or in his throat. In his
wheelchair, he attended the September 1989 taping for the Monthy
Python's 20th annivarsary special. But on October 1, he was
hospitalized after a massive stroke which turned into a hemorrhage.
He died at the age of 48 on 4 October, 1989 from complications of
the stroke as well throat and spinal cancer.
