Marianne Levy

Before she wrote books, Marianne was an actress. Not the famous sort, though. After graduating from Cambridge University she appeared in a few TV shows and did a bit of comedy on Radio 4. She has been in a film, in which she managed to forget both her lines. Since then, Marianne has written for The Story of Tracy Beaker, introduced America’s Next Top Model and been the voice of a yogurt. She lives in London, and spends her spare time eating cheese and hassling other people’s dogs.
