    R.I.P Doctor Who's Mary Tamm

    She played Romana I and was one of the most gorgeous companions in the show:

    It's a bad time to be a Doctor Who companion. First Liz Sladen, now Mary Tamm. It's too soon to go at that age.
    I loved her as Romana, but she didn't get the stories she deserved. Somebody as intelligent and witty as Romana should have had more dialogue than "save me, Doctor, I'm falling off a cliff!"

    Oddly enough, I had pre-ordered her autograph for an upcoming convention.

    I looked it up and yep, Caroline John did pass away on June 12th of this year at age 72. She appeared in a major film in recent years.

    "Her most recent film role was in the Richard Curtis film Love, Actually, in which she played the gran of little drummer boy Sam."
