Remembering Amanda Davies
Amanda Davies was known for portraying a teenage version of her mother’s character, Victoria “Viki” Lord, in flashback scenes on the soap opera “One Life to Live” during the early 2000s. In addition to her role on the show, she was credited for her performance in the 2011 short film “The Gift.” Amanda’s father is Brian Davies, an actor known for his work in films like “Convoy” and “The Age of Innocence.” Brian and Erika Slezak, who married in 1978, also have a son named Michael Davies, 44.
Following Amanda’s passing, Erika Slezak received heartfelt condolences from colleagues and fans, including journalist Michael Fairman, who expressed his sympathy on social media. The soap opera “One Life to Live” had a successful run of over 40 years before it was canceled in 2012. During her tenure on the show, Slezak earned six daytime Emmy awards for her outstanding performance.
Amanda Davies’ death marks another loss for the “One Life to Live” community, following the recent passing of former cast members Andrea Evans and Kamar de los Reyes, who both succumbed to cancer within the past year. Andrea Evans passed away in July, while Kamar de los Reyes’ death occurred in December.
The outpouring of support from colleagues and fans reflects the impact Amanda had during her life. As the family requests privacy during this difficult time, the memories of Amanda’s talent and spirit will remain cherished by all who were touched by her presence.
