R.I.P. Elisabeth!

Firstly, apologies for no posts at the weekend. This time it wasn't that I just didn't get around to it, but just because I couldn't think of what to write about - but I can now. This blog is called 'George Millman, Actor and Political Activist' and over the last few months I have written a lot of political stuff, but not so much about being an actor. So this post is dedicated to a really legendary actor, who has just sadly died an untimely death from cancer at the age of 63: Elisabeth Sladen, best known for her role as Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who and its spinoff, The Sarah Jane Adventures.

I've always thought Elisabeth was good. I'm obviously not old enough to remember her from classic Doctor Who, but in more recent years I've enjoyed watching her stuff. I was very surprised when I realised how old she was, because she always seemed really sprightly and fit for her age, and I was actually quite shocked today to learn of her death, particularly when I never even knew she had cancer. Credit to her for keeping her illness quiet really. Anyway, I just thought that as I didn't post at the weekend, I should do a midweek post dedicated to an acting legend who will be remembered for a long, long time. R.I.P. Elisabeth, you will be much missed.

There are no prizes for guessing who is featured in people I respect and admire this time!
