Saw a post on facebook and didn't believe it, but checked it out and it is true

The Doctor Who News Page: Elisabeth Sladen 1948-2011

Goodbye to one of the best of the Doctors assistants. And how many people could come back to a successful role 30 years later as a star?

She will be missed.

 

[Raven Crowking]

Yes, she will be.

RIP Sarah Jane...

She was one of my favorite companions as well.

Sad news indeed. I got to see her at a Doctor Who convention in Chicago in 1983 - she even signed a Sarah Jane Smith photo for me from the back cover of a Doctor Who magazine.

She was second in the Dr. Who universe to only Tom Baker himself as far as I was concerned. I was holding out hope for more Sarah Jane Adventures and didn't even know she was sick. Very sad news.

I just saw this and holy crap! That was a harsh one to hear about, to say the least. Maybe the second harshest to me only behind Charles Schulz (Peanuts).

A sad day, indeed! She will be missed.
