Susan Lucci (born December 23, 1946 in Scarsdale,
New York) is a Daytime Emmy Award winning actress,
who has been called "Daytime's Leading Lady"
and "The Queen of Daytime" by several periodicals,
including TV Guide.She is best known for the role
of Erica Kane on the ABC television soap opera All
My Children, on which she has appeared since the show's
inception on January 5, 1970.She has appeared in a
number of television shows and made-for-TV movies.
In 1990 she began a series of guest spots on the popular
nighttime soap Dallas and hosted NBC's Saturday Night
Live in October of the same year. In 1995, Lucci appeared
in the Lifetime television movie Ebbie. This film
was an updated version of Dickens's classic A Christmas
Carol. Lucci played a Scrooge-like department store
owner visited by Marley and the three ghosts on Christmas.
Many critics praised her performance and the film
has become a holiday favorite.
She was nominated for the Outstanding Lead Actress
in a Drama Series Emmy for her work on All My Children
almost every year since 1978. After eighteen failed
nominations, it came as a shock to both her and the
viewing audience when she finally won in 1999.For
much of the 1980s and into the 1990s Lucci did many
commercials for the local Ford dealers in the New
York City area.In early 2005, Lucci earned a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
She is the mother of fellow soap actress Liza Huber.
There have been widespread rumors (especially on the
Internet) that Susan Lucci's mother was actress Phyllis
Diller but this is untrue; the two are not related.
A similar rumor is that Lucci is the sister of fellow
soap actress Robin Strasser, because of similarities
in their appearance; this is also untrue.Lucci's father
is Italian and her mother is Swedish; both are first-generation
Americans
