Susan Lucci has led such an incredible life that she is able to release a second memoir. The GOAT of Soap Divas announced that in February, we can read more of her extraordinary stories in La Lucci.
With her signature warmth and honesty, Lucci shares the pivotal moments that have shaped her perspective and ability to move forward with gratitude, hope, and grace. La Lucci is a heartfelt, at times humorous, and always inspiring reflection on strength, perseverance, and the power of embracing life’s unexpected turns. In addition to intimate stories from her remarkable career and personal life, the book features a special chapter entitled “Thank You for Asking” where she answers the most frequently asked questions from her devoted fans across the world. La Lucci is a celebration of life, love, and the courage to embrace new beginnings.
If you are going to announce your book release, then you should also reveal the cover. So she did. The actress is wearing tight black slacks and a suit jacket without a top or bra. Her body looks freaking fantastic. So much so that I cannot believe that she is 78 years old. Can you?
That is why no Soap Queen can ever come close to her greatness. She is like a fine wine who gets even finer with time!
Lucci’s first tell-all, All My Life: A Memoir, came out in 2011 and is available where books are still sold.
Susan Lucci was a guest on Good Morning America this morning, and Michael Strahan wanted to get some tips on how to do the perfect fight scene. And she was more than happy to demonstrate one.
The legendary diva noticed that there was a glass of water that she could use as a prop, so she picked it up and held it. Then, she decided to go for it and splashed some on his face.
That was nice, but everyone was wanting more, including the host. So he asked what happens when you don’t get it on the first try. She explained that the victim goes to hair and makeup, and gets ready to do it all over again.
With that, he asked for more water. This time, she did not hesitate and threw a whole glass of water at him. Leaving his face drenched with water.
However, that was enough for the crew. So, they gave her a pitcher of water. He got down on his knees and poured it all on his head, leaving him soaking wet.
But he was not mad; he just laughed it off because he had a lot of fun. And he can say that he survived a fight with the great Erica Kane. Maybe survived is not the correct word. But he lived to tell about it.
At least on air. Because when the camera panned to the crew, they were lined up to give it their best shot. It was just like that scene in Airplane when the passengers lined up to slap the woman who needed to be calmed down.
The Bachelor franchise is like a Soap Opera so it would make sense the producers would want a Soap star to be their suitor.
Therefore, they reached out to the Soap legend Susan Lucci. While her All My Children character, Erica Kane, was married 11 times, the actress was only married once in real life. That is kind of like the premise of the dating show. There is one person holding the rose, but several people who want it. So in that way, Lucci would be perfect as the lead.
Lucci has been a widow for two years, so ABC wanted to fix her up with a new man on The Golden Bachelorette.
The Emmy winner told People that their people reached out to her people and asked if she wanted to join the show. She told them that it isn’t for her.
While she won’t be going from Soap Queen to Queen B on The Bachelorette in the Fall, she will be watching. It is a recent guilty pleasure thanks to her assistant.
Susan Lucci is as known for losing Emmys as she is for her legendary career as the Soap Queen. And in the near future, those two things will come together for her.
That is because the woman who was nominated 21 times, and only one once in 1999, is going to get her second Daytime Emmy. But how? All My Children hasn’t been on the air since 2011. That is because she is getting Lifetime Achievement Award at the 50th Daytime Emmys.
“I am truly humbled to receive this esteemed award from the Academy. Throughout my career, I have been incredibly fortunate to work alongside exceptional talents and embraced by my fans that have been with me every step of the way,” the actress said. “This honor is not just a reflection of my journey, but a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the profound connection we are so lucky to forge with audiences all over the world through television.”
Lucci is not the only one getting the prestigious award this year. The recently retired Maury Povich is also getting it for his work with his daytime talk show, where many found out they are the father.
“I’m just blown away by this honor from the Academy,” the host said. “I have always had great respect for its work as I served on the National Board and was President of the New York Chapter. I guess if you hang around long enough, some good things happen. It’s been a 60+ year ride for me in this business, so I feel extremely blessed with this acknowledgment.”
When will we see them get the awards? That date has yet to be decided due to the Writers Guild of America’s strike. But when a date is set, I can’t wait to see them get the honor they so richly deserve.
Back in the ’80s, Susan Lucci was Soap Opera Queen and Christie Brinkley was the #1 Supermodel. However, we never saw Erica Kane and the Uptown Girl together, even though the boys wanted to recreate scenes from All My Children with them.
That was then, and here are the two ladies today. Can you believe that Lucci is 75 and Brinkley is 68 because they look younger now than they did when they were on the cover of all of the magazines 40 years ago?
