I am so very sorry to hear of Denise Alexander's passing. She broke barriers on-screen and off, portraying Dr. Lesley Webber - one of the first female doctors on Daytime Television - for nearly five decades.
Thank you mama, for so much more than u know. #GH
Such happy memories of her years in Salem and her great success on General Hospital. I was grateful for her wisdom, taste, humor, and goodness every time I saw her.
It meant so much to have her reprise her role in recent years and I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with her.
