Tributes for sci-fi baddie Jacqueline
BLAKE’S 7 star Jacqueline Pearce has died at the age of 74 after a short battle with lung cancer.
The actress played villain Supreme Commander Servalan from 1978 to 1981 in the popular BBC science-fiction series.
She also appeared in Dr Who, Danger Man and The Avengers as well as children’s dramas Moondial and Dark Season.
Russell T Davis, who wrote Dark Season, said: “She was glorious, vivid, passionate and the most wonderful company. And a truly fine actor.”
Jacqueline’s film roles included White Mischief and How To Get Ahead In Advertising.
Pal John Ainsworth said: “She was outrageous and straightforward, which did not always go down well.”
