Summary:[Penny Tackaberry] was a committed and successful drama agent and literary agent. In her 14 years with the [Tessa Sayle] Agency, in London, she brought authors such as Geoff McQueen, Stuart Hepburn, Ann Marie Di Mambro, Ayshe Raif and Fred Kerins to the agency, enabled the novels of Mary Wesley to be adapted for the screen, and helped launch the screenwriting careers of novelists such as Ronan Bennett. Penny Holt was born in 1946 into the film business and liked to say that she was actually delivered in Ealing Studios where her father, Seth Holt, worked as a film director. Her mother, Jenny Holt, worked as a film editor and her uncle Robert Hamer made such British classics as Kind Hearts And Coronets. After attending school at the Lycee Francaise, in South Kensington, Penny went on to the Mountview Theatre School in 1964.
