Valdo Pant (21 January 1928 \u2013 30 July 1976) was a radio and television journalist, scriptwriter and playwright.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPant was born in Otep\u00e4\u00e4 parish in Tartu County, attended school at Sadala and Mustvee and studied at Tartu Teachers\u2019 Seminary. He has worked as a teacher.
