My Take
Deborah Watling earns my affection as the kind of actor who simply lived on screen. She started as a child performer in The Invisible Man, then became Victoria, companion to the Second Doctor in Doctor Who from 1967. There is something I admire about a child actress who grows into a beloved face of a long-running institution rather than burning out. I tend to value steady, grounded careers over flashy ones, and hers was exactly that. She passed in 2017, but reruns and devoted fans keep her alive, which feels like a fitting tribute to a working actor's life well spent.
