Actress Mary Tamm has passed away of cancer. She was 62.
In 1974, Tamm co-starred with Jon Voight and Maximilian Schell in The Odessa File. However, she was best known for her one season in the late 70s on the British sci-fi TV series Doctor Who as Lady Romana alongside the Doctor played by Tom Baker in The Key to Time saga. It’s been at least thirty years since I’ve seen those episodes but I will always remember Romana because she was so easy on the eyes. Let’s just say that Romana was very popular with the men and boys in the Goldstein household.
Tamm’s death comes 15 months after the passing of Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane, another beloved companion to Doctor Who. Sladen also succunbed to cancer in her early 60s.
Here’s a short clip of the Doctor, Romana and the robotic dog, K-9, goofing around at Christmas time.

Never heard of her, never saw her.

Don't recall Mary Tamm--I will look her up--but I do recall The Odessa File. The book was great and the movie--well, the movie was great, too. Jon Voight, by the way, is really one of the most underrated actors of all time.
Conrack, The Odessa File, Coming Home, and Deliverance: in each movie, he played a completely and totally different character. Not too many have pulled this off. Most don't even try.

So I looked up Mary Tamm. She played Jon Voight's stripper girlfriend, Sigi. Yes, she was major hot.
And now that I am on the subject, I completely forgot Midnight Cowboy, another great Jon Voight film!

So sad to hear about Mary Tamm's far too early death. You mentioned Elisabeth Sladen, but she's not the only Doctor Who actress to pass away recently. Caroline John, who played opposite Jon Pertwee during his first year as the Doctor, also died quite recently. And Nicholas Courtney, the stalwart Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart died only a few months before Elisabeth Sladen.
It's been a sad couple of years for Doctor Who fans.
