My two year old knows who Sarah Jane is, he even recognizes her sonic lipstick! Her charisma never altered from the old series in the 's to her more recent roles, it drew you in and made you want to know her.
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. They weren't thinking of Lis Sladen. She was so positive about life and her natural energy was intoxicating. She couldn't believe her luck when her career was resurrected in her own series. She said of her early days as Sarah Jane: "I hit a lovely time in the series.
I hit the time of Pertwee and Baker, and sometimes you can almost taste when something is really working. Sladen first appeared as Sarah Jane alongside the third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, and stayed for three-and-a-half series, also working with Pertwee's successor, Tom Baker. Her character, a journalist, was renowned for being inquisitive and stronger than some of the Doctor's other assistants. After her time in the Tardis, Sladen returned to her native Liverpool where she worked in theatre. She reprised her Doctor Who role on several occasions over the years and was given her own spin-off series on CBBC in , in which she appeared with the most recent two Doctors, David Tennant and Matt Smith.
In , ahead of rejoining Doctor Who, Sladen said of the show: "I think it has lovely layers and I'd defend the programme to anyone. You used to love going to work every day. She was adored by our young audience and I know all of them will miss her as much as I will," he said. She will be missed by all at BBC Wales who worked with her.
Sladen's agent Roger Carey described her as a "dear friend". Sladen would often attend fan events both small and big, and would patiently sign autographs and pose for photographs, treating everyone with absolute courtesy. Social networking sites have made it easy for people without blogs or semi-official outlets to leave their own messages.
Jenjenpen said: "It feels as though the internet is crying. I wonder if she had any idea just how many lives she touched. Finally — and this brief tribute reflects only a handful of the tributes paid — the Den of Geek website lists a slew of warm words from fans on its Facebook page, but finishes: "There's perhaps no more fitting way to pay tribute to Elisabeth Sladen than to support your local cancer charities in her name.
Doctor Who's Elisabeth Sladen mourned by fans and co-stars.
