Janice was a generous, warm and hugely funny woman who was a great friend to many people. After working for Bertice Reading in the 1980’s, she worked as an agent for many happy years, at agencies including Adrian King Associates and Billy Marsh Associates, before establishing Janice Tildsley Associates in 2003. She always said it was the best thing she ever did. She loved musical theatre (apart from Cats), but she was always adamant that every musical – with the exception of Les Misérables, which she adored – was 20 minutes too long. Nobody could answer a phone like she did: “Janice Tildsley – tall, leggy, blonde, you know the one.”

Janice passed away peacefully on 19th December 2010. Sailor’s friend and Agent to the Stars, she is often in our thoughts and is greatly missed.

“Here’s to those who wish us well, and those who don’t can go to hell”.
