Happy birthday, Deborah Watling!

Deborah Watling | January 2, 1948 - July 21, 2017

My heart breaks to learn that Deborah Watling passed this summer.

Deborah was a firecracker, a sassy lady (one of the few people I’ve seen put Frazier Hines in his place!), and truly one of the kindest people I’ve met through Doctor Who.

“Let’s take a picture!” - I will always remember her as in this photo of us from Chicago TARDIS 2014, taken Saturday night after talking over wine (always a dry house white for Deborah).

I take solace knowing she’s in heaven with her daddy and with Patrick Troughton, but it’s still a sad shock to know she’s gone.
