Her enduring legacy spans nearly 50 years on 'General Hospital' alone and just as she was the heart of Monica Quartermain, so is Leslie the heart of the entire cast. And I will miss our daily conversations, her sharp wit and her incredible presence on set. On behalf of everyone at 'General Hospital', I extend my heartfelt condolences to her loved ones during this difficult time.” Frank said.
