Sue Jones-Davies (born 1 January 1949) is a Welsh actress, singer and local politician. She played Judith Iscariot in the film Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) and was Mayor of Aberystwyth from 2008 to 2009. She lived in Dinas Cross, Pembrokeshire, Wales. She met her former husband, the actor and writer Chris Langham, then a fellow student, while at Bristol University. They married soon after graduation and lived in London. They have three sons, Siencyn, Glyn and Dafydd. They later separated, and Jones-Davies moved to Aberystwyth with her three sons. Jones-Davies worked in London for several years. She appeared in the original London production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Other credits include Monty Python's Life of Brian, Radio On, Rock Follies, French and Saunders, Victoria Wood As Seen On TV and Brideshead Revisited. Her role in Rock Follies earned her a chart hit single with "OK" in partnership with Julie Covington, Rula Lenska and Charlotte Cornwell, reaching no.10 in June 1977. In August 1976, Jones-Davies was shortlisted for the part of Leela in the long running BBC series Doctor Who, but lost out to Louise Jameson for the role. In the 1970s she was singer in The Bowles Brothers Band. She sings in the Welsh-language acoustic band Cusan Tan along with Annie Jones. She is also a regular performer on Welsh-language television. In 1981, she played in The Life and Times of David Lloyd George as Megan Lloyd George, the prime minister's daughter. She appeared in The Theory of Flight (1998), alongside Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter, Solomon and Gaenor (1999) and voiced the part of Sian in animated film Y Mabinogi (2003). In 2008, she became a Plaid Cymru town councillor in Aberystwyth.[9] Between June 2008 and May 2009, she was Mayor of Aberystwyth. Upon taking the office, she was informed that the town had banned Life of Brian and prohibited it for nearly 30 years because of her nude scene. It subsequently emerged that although Ceredigion county councillors had reviewed the film in 1981, and found parts "quite unacceptable", they did not officially ban it.
