Fear’s friends and family have launched an appeal for information to find the Doctor Who actress, who has been missing in LA for several days.
Friends and family of Doctor Who actor Tanya Fear have launched an appeal for information following her disappearance in LA several days ago.
Fear, who is best known for playing Dr Jade McIntyre on the sci-fi series, went missing in the Hollywood Bowl area on Thursday 9th September. Her manager Alex Cole confirmed the news, saying Fear’s family had reported the incident to the police before adding on an NBC News segment on Sunday night that he had spoken to her the week before and there was “no reason for concern then”.
