Personal Quote:

I sometimes think, 'If I knew what made Sarah Jane so popular, I'd bottle it'. I love her as a character, and I credit Barry (Barry Letts) for instilling something special in the character. He is a true gentle and honourable man and has such a wonderful take on life. I took some of that influence for Sarah. You also scavenge some of what you are as well. But, I wish I was more like her.

Diagnosed with cancer in late February 2011, less than 2 months before her death. Her autobiography was released posthumously and promoted by her daughter Sadie Miller in November 2011. See more »
