Elisabeth Sladen, 1948-2011
I've been a Doctor Who fan since I first saw Tom Baker in the role in the late '70s. His "companion" in those years was journalist Sarah Jane Smith, played by the lovely Elisabeth Sladen. Sadly, Elisabeth lost a battle with cancer earlier today, passing away at the all-too-young age of 63. She had recently returned to her iconic role in the BBC's Sarah Jane Adventures.
The official announcement of her death is here.

Very sad news. Elisabeth Sladen was a lovely woman. Sarah Jane was one of the Doctor's best companions.
