Den of the Rothwoman

How did I not know that Jean Marsh and Jon Pertwee were married for 5 years back in the fifties, before either of them was on Doctor Who?

“He was 14 years older than me, and I was still growing up, so I changed. Our marriage really only lasted 18 months or so, and we were divorced after five years, so it was a small part of my life. He was a lot of fun, though, because he was a very amusing man.” - from here

I’d never seen this picture of them before!  They always look so cute together, though.  I’m so relieved she’s feeling better, too.  She’s such an amazing, talented, beautiful woman, and it would have been such a shame if she’d had to leave the show.

One of these days someone needs to make a picture of all the behind-the-scenes couples in Doctor Who, but as their characters.
