![]() Elisabeth Sladen writes about moving to London, meeting her husband Brian and how hungry they were, how you don’t make enough money to afford 3 meals a day when you are an actor. ![]() I was also surprised to read that Everton owner Bill Kenwright was an actor first. Elisabeth Sladen is Liverpudlian, which I couldn’t believe. The book starts from her childhood and some family history, her start in performing in theatre and the removal of her accent through elocution lessons, as you had to speak the Queen’s English if you wanted to be in the media in those days. I don’t think I have seen many interviews either, with Elisabeth Sladen out of character and talking about herself, except for maybe Doctor Who Confidential (and it has been a long time since I watched those!) So I was very interested in what her autobiography would tell me. But of course, in those television shows Elisabeth Sladen is playing a character. ![]() And yet after watching her on Doctor Who and then in her own show, The Sarah Jane Adventures, I feel as if I do know her. I realised as I was reading this book, I know very little about Elisabeth Sladen. I had a blast reading Elisabeth Sladen’s autobiography. ![]()
