Trivia
In the 1940s she was a friend of sadistic murderer Neville Heath, although she didn't know his real name. He invited her out to dinner a week after he brutally murdered another woman. He walked her home and kissed her goodnight. Weeks later, he murdered another woman. He was eventually caught and hanged in England in 1946. Lister believed that her blonde hair saved her life as both of Heath's victims were dark-haired.
