Elisabeth Sladen [1948-2011]
Elisabeth Sladen [1948-2011]
A picture is worth a thousand words… please feel free to print and circulate.

Sarah Jane dead? No, impossible! Impossible. Only last week I agreed to do six new audio adventures with her for Big Finish Productions. She can’t be dead. But she is: she died yesterday morning. Cancer.
You can read the full tribute Here.
Matt Smith…
“What struck me about Lis was her grace. She welcomed me, educated me, and delighted me with her tales and adventures on Doctor Who. And she also seemed to have a quality of youth that not many people retain as they go through life. Her grace and kindness will stay with me because she had such qualities in abundance and shared them freely. I will miss her, as will the world of Doctor Who and all the Doctors that had the good pleasure to work with Lis Sladen and travel the universe with Sarah Jane.”
David Tennant…
I just can’t believe that Lis is gone. She seemed invincible. The same woman who enchanted my childhood, enchanted my time on Doctor Who and enchanted generations who have watched her and fallen in love with her – just like I did. I feel very honoured to have shared a TARDIS with Sarah Jane Smith, and I feel very lucky to have shared some time with Lis Sladen. She was extraordinary.
Russell T Davies…
“I absolutely loved Lis. She was funny and cheeky and clever and just simply wonderful. The universe was lucky to have Sarah Jane Smith, the world was lucky to have Lis.”
Nicholas Briggs…
We are all so shocked and so very sad at the news of the death of Lis Sladen. Only yesterday I was filming a DVD extra in which I was talking with such heartfelt passion about how she was so ‘luminous’ on screen and how brilliant she was as Sarah Jane Smith.
Please bear in mind some comments on this site are from very young and upset people. This news as come as a great shock to many fans, old and new.

December 26th, 2011 - 1:43pmI believe Elisabeth is in Heaven now, watching down and seeing all these comments. Elisabeth Sladen, you will not be forgotten. You don’t look a day over 40!
Sarah Jane Smith will go down in history as the best companion of Doctor Who, because she was so fantastic at battling Sontarans, Slitheen, Bane, all of them. Sarah Jane, Elisabeth Sladen, you will be missed sorely by one and all.

December 26th, 2011 - 1:36pmI feel for you, I have had many relations die :'( just my big family. At least it was a death of old age! didnt look a day over 40, but Lis was 63! I wouldn’t have ever thought SIXTY THREE.

December 26th, 2011 - 1:33pmI know, it’s unbelievable. She seemed so a alive, so real, so….human. I can’t believe she has gone.
Maddy
December 26th, 2011 - 1:32pmThat would be brilliant. Maybe, just maybe, the people will see that comment and get one together. RIP Elisabeth Sladen, you will be remembered always. I watch SJA and think of the things she could do instead of what she can’t.
Maddy
December 26th, 2011 - 1:29pmYes, at least Lis is happy now, as an angel in heaven. RIP Elisabeth, you will be remembered always.

October 27th, 2011 - 6:31pmIt’s been 6 month and i’m still watching the SJA episodes. As it’s halloween week on CBBC, they have all the episodes playing back to back- it’s heaven, but on the other, still hard to get my head around it. I can’t believe she’s gone, lis was amazing and was my fav actress of all time! I still feel sad about her death, but I feel most for her family… her daughter is lucky with a mam like that! RIP Sarah Jane. RIP Lis Sladen, we love and miss you (and SJA!)
Your in our hearts forever.

August 26th, 2011 - 10:06pmI used to watch Sarah Jane when I was little when she was the Dr’s assistant. Now I really enjoy watching Sarah Jane with my step-daughters. Brilliant. Such a sad loss but her family must be so proud of her achievements. 🙁 xx
