Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin’s lives changed when they appeared in the acclaimed comedy, ‘A Fish Called Wanda.’ The 1988 heist film, which was written by John Cleese and directed by Charles Crichton, stars the actors as a gang of diamond thieves who double-cross each another. The femme fatale title character, who was played by Curtis, uses a barrister, Archie Leach, who was portrayed by Cleese, to locate the loot.

The British-American movie was released to positive reviews, and was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. It won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Kline. Palin also won a BAFTA Awards for Best Supporting Actor for his performance.
