Frances Margaret Horovitz (née Hooker; 13 February 1938 – 2 October 1983) was an English poet and broadcaster.
Frances Margaret Hooker (who adopted and wrote under the surname of her first husband, Michael Horovitz) was born in Walthamstow, London, in 1938 but moved with her family to Nottingham in 1942 when her father was appointed manager of a munitions factory there.
She went on to Bristol University to study English and Drama and then to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

After that she and Adam moved to join Roger Garfitt in Sunderland, where she was eventually diagnosed with skin cancer in her left ear.
