I preferred the Lalla Ward Romana, since she had better chemistry with Tom Baker, but Mary Tamm was great as well, and under different circumstances probably could have been a stronger companion than she ended up being.
It's strange that she dies so soon after Caroline John, another actress whose tenure on the show was too short.

So thats four we lost this year right? Hopefully any other deaths this year will be on screen and not off.
I remember when she first came on and was so brusque. My teenage mind went 'oh god what are we in for now' even though I knew the doctor could easily handle her. Then I realized I loved her stories and rematches them often.
Lala replacing her was strange, but the chemistry was there for a time. I think they wrote better romana for lala than tamm.
Having ignored who for years I came back and researched Tamm's run. I was shocked at how beautiful she was! 25 years later does wonders for some things. Now I prefer her to lala. Tamm gave romana a Vulnerability and depth that few assistants had. And there was chemistry between her and baker, but is was subtle.
I will miss her.
God speed my lovely.
