Susan Lucci will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards airing this Friday on CBS.
‘It’s big! It feels thrilling of course and I’m really honored,’ the legendary soap star – turning 77 next week – gushed on GMA Monday.
‘You know you hear people saying, “I’m so humbled.” I am so humbled! By that, I mean, you know, I hope I’ve achieved enough!’
Susan famously portrayed the ‘sexy, sassy, beautiful, woman you love to hate’ Erica Kane on the ABC soap opera All My Children from 1970 until its 2011 cancellation.
Lucci had a difficult time singling out which of the many men her diva character married (and remarried) a record 11 times throughout the course of the series she liked best.

The legendary soap star – turning 77 next week – gushed on GMA Monday: ‘It’s big! It feels thrilling of course and I’m really honored. You know you hear people saying, “I’m so humbled.” I am so humbled! By that, I mean, you know, I hope I’ve achieved enough!’
‘This is very hard!’ the New York native said before giving shout outs to Jack Montgomery, Dimitri Marick, Tom Cudahay, and Mike Roy.
In real life, Susan mothered two children – daughter Liza Huber and son Andreas Huber – during her 52-year marriage to Austrian-born chef Helmut Huber, who sadly passed away last year.
‘I got married young. I was really lucky,’ Lucci said of wedded bliss.
‘I mean, my instincts told me that this man was going to be great and I fell more in love with him the longer we were married. He just was spectacular.’
The American Heart Association spokesperson was nominated for the outstanding lead actress in a drama series Emmy for nearly every year beginning in 1978, but she didn’t win Emmy gold until 1999.
According to People – the Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented by The Young and the Restless alum Shemar Moore, who famously shouted ‘the streak is over’ when he handed Susan the trophy back in 1999.
Lucci’s last major acting gig was portraying the airheaded Genevieve Delatour for four seasons of Lifetime series Devious Maids spanning 2013-2016.
The Marymount College grad also starred in the 1999 Broadway production of Annie Get Your Gun and she finished sixth in the seventh season of Dancing with the Stars alongside partner Tony Dovolani.
Susan recently underwent her second heart surgery in four years, telling People in March: ‘I’m doing really well. I always keep an eye on myself, what’s going on. It is so far so good!’
