When ABC cancelled All My Children on April 14, 2011, after 41 years on the air, Lucci said in an interview: 'It's been a fantastic journey. In addition, she appeared in a 1989 television commercial for the sugar substitute Sweet One, intended to portray her as the opposite of her villainess character, yet throwing one of Erica Kane's characteristic tantrums, shouting, 'Eleven years without an Emmy! What does a person have to do around here to get an Emmy?' Her name eventually became part of the language, used as an avatar for artists who receive numerous award nominations without a win (e.g., 'Peter O'Toole was the Susan Lucci of the Oscars.').Īfter 18 failed nominations, she finally won in 1999. NBC's Saturday Night Live exploited this by asking her to host an episode during her monologue, the show's cast, crew, and even stagehands nonchalantly carried (and utilized for example, as hammers and doorjambs) Emmys of their own in her presence. When Lucci did not win the award after several consecutive nominations, her image in the media began to be lampooned, as she became notoriously synonymous with never winning an Emmy.

In 1996, TV Guide ranked Lucci number 37 on its 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time list. After the cancellation of All My Children, she hosted the 2012-2014 true crime series Deadly Affairs and starred (as Genevieve Delatour) in the 2013-2016 Lifetime series Devious Maids. She had multi-episode guest appearances on the series Dallas, Hot in Cleveland and Army Wives. Lucci has also acted in other TV series, as well as occasionally in film and on stage. She won only once, in 1999, after the 19th nomination beginning in the late 1980s her status as a perpetual nominee for the award attracted significant media attention. During her run on All My Children, she was nominated 21 times for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. As early as 1991, her salary had been reported as over $1 million a year. The character is considered an icon, and Lucci was called 'Daytime's Leading Lady' by TV Guide, with The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times citing her as the highest-paid actor in daytime television. Susan Victoria Lucci (born December 23, 1946) is an American actress, television host, author and entrepreneur, best known for portraying Erica Kane on the ABC daytime drama All My Children during that show's entire network run from 1970 to 2011.
