Dame Jenni Murray
We are very sad to learn of the death of Dame Jenni Murray.
We started representing Jenni in 2020 as she was leaving Woman’s Hour after a long career at Radio 4. True to her spirit of fun, she surprised many by taking part in ITV’s The Real Full Monty to great acclaim the same year. The announcement of her participation made front page news. Her reason for taking part was simple. To encourage more women to check for breast cancer.
Last year she returned to the BBC to present a series for Radio 3, Jenni Murray’s Women Composers.
We loved working with Jenni, a true professional and pioneer, she was brave and formidable with equal measure.
She interviewed every Prime Minister of the last thirty years, she was as comfortable with high powered politicians as with the grieving parents of Madeleine McCann and the first Hollywood star she encountered was Bette Davies. The late foreign correspondent, Charles Wheeler, described Jenni as having ‘the most beautiful voice on the radio – ever.’
