That's incredibly sad.

She was a superb & incredibly beautiful actress, perfect for the role as Servalan & Jacqueline Pearce lit up the screen in Blakes 7, playing the part with such gusto and devilish malevolence with Paul Darrow, it made the series seem almost real despite it's setting.

Even if the Blake's 7 sets were a bit wonky & made on a 70's/early 80's budget, I felt the strength of the performances more than compensated for any apparent shortcomings in the special effects department.

A performance has to be pretty special to be remembered 40 Years after it's original broadcast, and I feel hers in Blakes 7 will be remembered for much, much longer. RIP
