 She was not on the list.

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" actress Wendy Davis died Monday, Dec. 8, following a car crash. She was 60.

According to authorities, the actress — who went by the stage name Wenne Alton Davis — was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street around 9PM on Monday at the intersection of West 53rd Street and Broadway in New York.

Davis suffered severe trauma to her head and body as a result of the collision and was transferred to Mount Sinai West Hospital. She was pronounced dead.

The driver of the 2023 Cadillac XT6 is a 61-year-old male, who stayed behind at the scene. As of Wednesday, he faces no charges, and no arrest was made, as an investigation by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad remains ongoing.

Her manager, Jamie Harris, told The New York Times that Davis moved to New York in her 20s, originally to pursue stand-up comedy, before transitioning to acting, even working at John F. Kennedy International Airport to support herself while trying to break into the entertainment industry.

"She had a huge love for New York, for acting, for her colleagues at JFK and, most of all, her family and her circle of friends (which was also huge)," Harris told The New York Times.

In addition to playing a police officer in a 2023 episode of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Davis also appeared in "Girls5eva," "Blindspot," "New Amsterdam" and "The Normal Heart."

When speaking with the Daily News, Davis' neighbor, Edward Reynoso, shared that, just hours before her death, Davis told him, "I love you, I appreciate you."

"It was so weird to me, because I felt like she was saying goodbye," Reynoso said. "Now that this happened, it all seems so odd to me."
