Elisabeth Sladen's biography...

[Matthew Morris]

...Just arrived in my mailbox today. I'm only in chapter three but I've already laughed and welled up with tears. Her daughter writes the dedication and David Tennant the forward. I can imagine well his feelings he relates in the forward. Like Tennant, she was 'My' Companion too.

Almost finished. Really a good book. I'd forgotten about how the BBC didn't (doesn't?) do reruns. She didn't actually see Hand of Fear until 1990.

That sounds weird, yet I have heard of actors never watching themselves.

I didn't even know this existed ... its been added to my Kindle to buy list so hopefully after the holidays I'll grab it.

I wanted to add it's written very conversationally, which made it an easy read for me. Also some of the comparisons to actors this century (gods that sounds weird to type) help in understanding the difference between British acting and American acting careers.

Just downloaded this on my Kindle. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Matthew!

I'll look this up, especially since I recently read Sophie Aldred's book about her experiences tied to the end of the original series.
