Fans of Doctor Who may already know this, but Elisabeth Sladen passed away on April 19th, 2011 from cancer at the age of 63. She was best known for playing Sarah Jane Smith, one of the most popular companions to travel with the Doctor, from 1973-76 and in numerous episodes thereafter. She also had a spinoff children's show called "The Sarah Jane Adventures", which was in the middle of filming its fifth season at the time of her passing.

I drew this as a tribute: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5615451

"The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship...everything has its time. And everything ends." -- Sarah Jane Smith, "School Reunion", Doctor Who

RIP, our Sarah Jane. You will be missed.
1948-2011
