I have just come across the tragic news that Elisabeth Sladen, best known for her role as Sarah Jane Smith on Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures, has passed away today at the age of 63 due to complications from cancer.
I have seen nothing but incredible sadness all across the internet. From huge DW nerds to the quiet fans who never really talk much about the show. Everyone has felt this death.
Personally I never got the chance to watch SJA or anything else Elisabeth did but Sarah Jane was such a huge part of DW. Not only was she a companion to The Doctor back in the 70s but she got to come back in the new series and finally have some closure with him. They finally got to say goodbye to each other.
She was Sarah Jane. She was our Sarah Jane. And today is just going to be an incredibly sad day.
Doctor Who’s lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat paid his tribute.
“‘Never meet your heroes,’ wise people say. They weren’t thinking of Lis Sladen,”
Here is some fan art I have seen today in memoriam.
