“It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Erika’s daughter Amanda Elizabeth Davies who died very suddenly. The family is heartbroken and would appreciate privacy at this time.”

Davies played young Viki in flashbacks in 2003.

The immensely popular Slezak played Victoria Lord from 1971-2013 on One Life to Live. Slezak is the daughter of Walter Slezak, the Tony-winning Austria-born actor who starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s Lifeboat and, like his granddaughter, made an appearance on One Life To Live.

This just broke my heart. My thoughts are with dear Erika at this time. I know how much she loved her children.💔
