Yes, sort of. She went to Richmond Hill High School in northern Richmond Hill, which was on the complete other end of the Richmond Hill section from where we lived. Didn’t know her, or was in that area much.
Also from Richmond Hill was the late actor Dick Van Patten and his sister, also an actor/actress, Joyce Van Patten. She appeared on lots of popular TV shows, mostly during the 60s-80s. I only recall her being in 1 or 2 episodes of the Odd Couple, and a really funny scene from Columbo, with the late Peter Falk.
Speaking of that episode, check out this hilarious clip from it (linked below). She plays a nun at a homeless shelter.
Detective Columbo, in his his usual ‘bummy’ attire and appearance, enters the facility looking to question one of the residents as a possible witness in a murder case.

Starring in it as the main murder suspect is, believe it or not, comedian Dick Van Dyke, who played the role seriously and very well. You would hardly believe he was the same guy from the popular comedy series.
(Dick Van Dyke, Dick Van Patten... strange coincidence I guess)
