She was not on the list.

Lieux Dressler (born Louise Aldrich; February 27, 1930 – February 8, 2018) was an American film and television actress.

Before becoming known as an actress, Dressler worked as a nightclub singer in Dallas. During this time, she was married to trombonist Morris Repass, with whom she had two sons. In the 1960s, her marriage ended, and she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. She operated an acting workshop named the Patio Playhouse, where she developed techniques that continue to be taught at acting classes.

During the 1970s, she appeared on various television series, including Columbo, Gunsmoke, Kolchak: the Night Stalker, and The Rockford Files. She was mostly recognized as Alice Grant, the long suffering mother of Heather Grant Webber on the long running daytime drama General Hospital from 1978-1983. She also appeared in feature films, most notably Truck Stop Women (1974), Kingdom of the Spiders (1977), and Point of No Return (1993), and then she retired from acting.

Lieux Dressler Repass died on February 8, 2018, at the age of 87.
