Susan Lucci steps Behind The Rope. La Lucci!!!! Daytime TV Legend, Standing Ovation Emmy Winner, Icon in the Flesh, Entrepreneur, New York Times Bestselling Author, Broadway Star, and THE most famous Actress in ALL of Soap History, La Lucci bestows her greatness upon us today to chat about all that is Erica Kane and an epic career that has been, is, and will continue to be truly remarkable for a long time to come. Susan is kind enough to revisit Pine Valley with us here today to break it all down - the origins of Erica Kane, fav / least fav story lines, fav Husband, and there were many, of Erica’s, the pressures / joys of being first on the call sheet, working with now household names such as Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kelly Ripa. Susan also opens up about finally winning a much deserved Emmy, fans who forget she is Susan and not Erica, how similar is she to Ms. Kane, playing one character for forty one years, and the untimely end, yes even after forty one years, of All My Children. Susan chats about some of our fav side projects of hers - Dallas, Dancing with The Stars, Celebrity Autobiography. We chat about life after AMC, a life which immediately led to another brilliant Iconic Role as Geneviève Delatour in Marc Cherry’s Devious Maids. Finally, Susan chats about what advice she would give her early self, or any actress starting out, how she would like to sum up her career in a few words, and just what is next for this Icon that will always and forever unarguably be the biggest Soap Star to have played the biggest character, Erica Kane, in Soap History. Non-debatable. Period. The. End. Thank you Susan for an unfiltered chat we will always remember!
