Elisabeth Sladen Dies at 63

[miniPhil]

It is with much sadness that we can announce Elisabeth Sladen, the much-loved actress best known for her role as Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who and CBBC's The Sarah Jane Adventures, passed away this morning. She was 63.

Lis first appeared as Sarah Jane in Doctor Who in 1973 alongside the Third Doctor Jon Pertwee and stayed for three and half seasons working alongside Jon and the Fourth Doctor Tom Baker. She returned to the role on numerous occasions over the years and, in 2007, was given her own spin-off series on CBBC - The Sarah Jane Adventures - where she would appear alongside new Doctors David Tennant and Matt Smith.

A person died? How shocking.

Instead of being an insensitive lout, how about you get the hell out of the thread?

How is it insensitive to accept, and point out, that people die? It's certainly nothing new, and getting your panties in a bunch because, god forbid, someone points out the obvious seems overly sensitive.

There is a time and a place.

This is neither.

Oh goodness, I've seen her in Dr. Who but I don't watch that show a lot. Maybe I've seen less than 10 episodes maybe a few months ago. This is saddening. ):

.....................!! I wonder if Tom Baker or Louise Jamieson will be next? Anyhow, Elisabeth's death is a shock.

[~*Red*~]

I remember watching the old Doctor Who reruns and she was an awesome character ;_;

[DOOM!]

Who cares.

 

yeah, yeah, pun intended

But I've never watched a single episode of DW, so I wouldn't know.

Geez... people die too early of age... @.@ and i thought she was just in her 40s when i watched her with david tennant... >.>

Seriously.

Anyway, I was saddened to hear this. I noticed they paid tribute to her in the first episode of season 6, though. She will be missed.
