Repped By: Peyton List is repped by Innovative Artists and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham
Character Description:The young matriarch of a Kennedy-esque dynasty, Tipper can bake a perfect pie, host the hell out of a dinner party, and deftly pull the strings in her husband’s quest for more wealth and power. She’s always done it all with effortless grace and old-money elegance – but this year, a family crisis exposes her sharp edges, her icy temper, and her dirty little secrets.
Elysia Roorbach for ‘Young Penny’

Repped By: She is represented by Realm Talent and Schreck Rose Dapello & Adams.
