Very sad

One of my favourite actresses died today.  Her name was Elisabeth Sladen.  For those who grew up watching the Tom Baker series of Dr Who in the 70s they would of known her as Sarah Jane Smith.  She was in a recent tv series linked to the Dr Who universe as well.  She died at the age of 63 to cancer.  It seriously cut me up because she was beyond awesome.   My hope of getting a chance to meet her at a future convention is over.  Would have loved to meet her.  I'm not sure how many of you would of known of her at that stage since Dr Who wasnt that big in America but it was massive in England and here in Australia.  Beyond sad..  She is missed by millions.

Earlier in the year in febuary the actor Nicholas Courtney, who played the Brigadier, also died.  He was legendary.   I'm afraid the next one will be Tom Baker.  That will suck beyond words.

  1. Never got into Dr. Who myself, but very sad nonetheless. We tend to forget about it sometimes, but I guess it makes us all feel mortal. Especially when things from your past come back like this, you get reminded that we're all getting older, and nothing really lasts forever.

  5. I've never seen Dr. Who. But I do kind of dread the day that actors and actresses I like die.
