I'm sad to learn this news. I really enjoyed all her work on DS - especially her portrayal of 1970PT's Buffie. But the nice thing is that, as with all the departed DS actors, her contributions to DS live on. And the funny thing is that, at least for me, when I watch DS it rarely enters my head that so and so has passed on because they're alive and vibrant on my TV screen - and that's the way I like to remember them all.
