'COMPANION' ELISABETH SLADEN DIES AT 63


Just received this from a friend of mine who thought I would be interested...

Elisabeth Sladen was a "companion" on the classic Doctor Who series, specifically a travelling partner to Jon Pertwee for his final episodes and the beginning of Tom Baker's.

Sad news, indeed. Ms. Sladen was one of the more memorable companions, injecting the type's potential flatness with some personality. "Sarah Jane" was a mix of sweetness, vulnerability, and professionalism.

What a class act, she was. A childhood crush and a great talent. Seeing these pictures really pushes the buttons in my Tardis all over again
