Susan Lucci on her latest memoir, her life after heartbreaking loss, and "All My Children" (January 2026)

15 years ago, the daytime drama "All My Children" was cancelled ending Susan Lucci's iconic, 41-year portrayal as Erica Kane. It was one of the most famous roles on television. Lucci would continue to have success on screen and stage. At her side was her beloved husband of five decades, Helmut Huber. He died in 2022. Marry Calvi talks to Lucci about her recent memoir, "La Lucci," in which she shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming grief and how she found her way into the light. Lucci also talked about how growing up and continuing to live in her hometown of Garden City, Long Island, grounds her, her gratitude to her friends, finally winning a Daytime Emmy Award for Best Actress on her 19th nomination for playing Erica Kane, and how she almost didn't take the role.
