Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith on the long-running science-fiction series Doctor Who, died on Tuesday at the age 63 from cancer. I enjoyed both Elisabeth's Doctor Who and post-Doctor-al work, and was quite fond of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
No matter how ridiculous or improbable the script, Elisabeth Sladen always made it work with both humor and dignity.
When the fourth (and obviously final) season of The Sarah Jane Adventures reaches Netflix, I'll probably cry all the way through each episode.
