''Have you met Miss Smith? She's my best friend'' -The Doctor
Everyone needs a role model & an inspiration in their life. Yes I have had the pleasure of meeting & knowing some brilliant & amazing woman over the years and I have read books by phenomenal authors such as J.K.Rowling
Yet, my TV role model from my teen years to this day is Elisabeth Clara Heath Sladen
I remember my first memory of watching Lis on TV. I was around 12 or 13 & whilst flicking through the channels I found The Sarah Jane Adventures. If I'm correct it was the episode; Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith, one of the moving episode throughout the series. From that point onwards I fell in love with the show & it was the perfect time for me because I was going through tough times at school & to back home to watch SJA on TV was just my highlight of the week. Lis's performance captured me from that time I was flicking through channels...
Sarah Jane Smith was a massive part of my childhood, namely teen years & growing up Lis was my role model. To this day she's my inspiration & I miss her dearly. My introduction to the world of Doctor Who was through The Sarah Jane Adventures & I have watched every episode of Classic Who & new Who with Lis
Elisabeth's portrayal of Sarah Jane Smith captured & impacted generations of children & adults alike, and Elisabeth herself had been described as a fiercely kind & cherished woman by her fellow cast
A few of my favourite lines from Miss Smith...
''Life on earth can be an adventure too... You just need to know where to look!''
''I don't care what people think of me. Never have''
''The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, the define us as much as happiness or love. whether it's a world or a relationship, everything has it's time. And everything ends''
''I wouldn't have missed it for the world!''
''Bye, Doctor. You know, travel really does broaden the mind''
''Some things are worth getting your heart broken for''
''I'm a journalist, Sarah Jane Smith''
''Call me old girl again and I'll spit in your eye''
''Don't forget me''
''Now just wait a minute. There's nothing 'only' about being a girl. Your Majesty''
''I learned a long time ago that, if you're missing somebody, just look up at the night sky. Whoever it is, wherever they are, chances are they're looking at the stars just like you. Sometimes for all of its size the universe isn't such a big place after all''
Farewell Sarah Jane Smith!
Never Forgotten ❤❤
