RIP: Sarah Jane, Doctor Who's Companion

Elisabeth Sladon passed away, she'd been battling cancer. She started with Doctor #3, John Pertwee, then continued with Tom Baker and got a spin-off show with K-9. She was definitely one of the more fun and interesting companions.

Sarah Jane, for the few episodes that we saw her for, definitely sparked as an interesting companion. It's too bad that we lost her so early.
