Oh, dear.

May the Lord be with her and her loved ones.

That is so sad! I recently bought some old Y&R episodes/edits on DVD and they include a lot of her. I had always hoped they would one day bring her back. I hope she rests in peace!

I had no clue she'd been on Broadway. She's really the only Leslie I remember, and to my preteen mind, she was always so effortlessly classy and elegant sitting behind that piano and playing.

I'm sorry to hear this. I have barely seen any of her time on Y&R, but she was a stunning woman and visually I can see where she fit the style of Bill Bell and Conboy's Y&R. When you look at her, even in a grainy B&W photo, you pause for a moment. She looked like a goddess.

Who was that with John Dixon?

I love that melodramatic dialogue and line reading, "Will you do this for your sister?"

I have some articles on her somewhere in my computers. I'll try to post them if I find them.

I'm so sorry to hear this. God rest her, and bless her loved ones.

I wasn't too familiar with her work on Y&R either, but thank you for posting that video of her singing. What a gorgeous, ethereal voice. RIP.

Victoria Mallory and another soap star gone too young, Sherry Mathis (Liza, SFT), were both cast in Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" on Broadway in 1973. I think Sherry ended up playing Victoria's role once Victoria left the production.

Someone casually mentioned this on Facebook under a picture of Brenda Dickson and she seemed pretty shocked. Here's what she said:

I AM SHOCKED...SHE WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND ,THE PERFECT LADY,SO POLITE AND LOVELY.SHE IS WITH THE ANGELS NOW... IT ALWAYS BREAKS MY HEART WHEN ONE OF MY CAST MATES PASSES.SHE WAS SO YOUNG.ALWAYS THE PERFORMER . EVERYONE LOVED HER ON THE SET.

I wonder if we'll hear from other other co-stars. I just watched an episode where Lorie tells Leslie she knows that Leslie is pregnant with Lance's child and she was a very good Leslie.

Very classy from Brenda.

Her new meds are doing wonders for her.
