  • Jean Marsh RIP

    From Blueshirt@3:633/280.2 to All on Mon Apr 14 06:43:13 2025
    The actress Jean Marsh has passed away aged 90.

    Among her many famous television roles Jean Marsh was known to us
    Doctor Who fans as Sarah Kingdom ("The Daleks' Master Plan" -
    1966) and Morgaine ("Battlefield" - 1989)... she also had a
    role in "The Crusade" in 1965. Jean Marsh was once married
    to the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee.

    RIP

    Yes, RIP. I thought she was terrific as Morgaine. Having mainly known
    her from "Upstairs, Downstairs", I'd previously had no idea she had such
    a broad range as an actress.

    She was in both the original "Upstairs, Downstairs" and the more recent remake, plus was a co-creator of the original show.

    I learned on reading her obituary in my newspaper this morning that she
    had an additional connection with Doctor Who, having been married to Jon Pertwee from 1955 to 1960. Though of course that was before DW began,
    and back when Pertwee was probably best known for "The Navy Lark" on the radio.

    Hey, Your Name, are you catching Binky's disease?? Did you actually
    read the link that Blueshirt posted ?? I don't mean click on the link
    and see what the webpage contains but the actual link as posted?? ;-P
    i.e. ....

    ...news/jean-marsh-dead-upstairs-downstairs-star-co-creator-1236189756/

    That link address doesn't say anything about her being in both versions
    of "Upstairs, Downstairs". :-p
