My Take
Mary Tamm earns my affection mostly for her turn as the first Romana in Doctor Who, opposite Tom Baker in The Key to Time. What I appreciate is that she played the part with poise and intelligence, presenting herself as the Doctor's equal rather than a mere assistant. Born in Bradford, she spent years anchoring British television drama with that elegant assurance. Losing her at sixty-two feels like a real loss, yet her body of work holds up beautifully. The fact that she maintained her own website tells me she valued her audience, which only deepens my fondness.
