Everybody...
Elisabeth Sladen, the wonderful actress who played Sarah Jane Smith on Doctor Who from 1973-1976 and the Sarah Jane Adventures from 2007-2010, died yesterday. She was 63, and had been battling cancer for an unknown length of time. It was a shock to many people, myself included. She was wonderful as Sarah Jane Smith, and while I had never met her myself, I have read many wonderful accounts, before and after her death, of those who did.
Now, I will be the first to say that I haven't been writing here in a while in the first place. That aside, I have had Sarah Jane on my mind, and I was planning on coming back after getting some things off my mind. With the passing of Ms. Sladen, however, I am quite torn. I still want to play Sarah Jane, but I'd feel like I was disrespecting the memory of the woman behind her. I'm thinking about waiting, but I can't really say how long I should wait. I'm not to the breaking point about this or anything, but, like I have said, I'm torn. Does anyone have any advice for this sort of thing?
