Career
Susan Lucci began her television career with bit parts on the daytime soap operas Love Is a Many Splendored Thing and The Doctors. She also appeared in an uncredited role in the 1969 film Goodbye, Columbus and had a minor role in the 1969 comedy-drama Me, Natalie.

Lucci is best known for appearing as Erica Kane on the ABC soap opera All My Children, from January 16, 1970, to September 23, 2011. Erica is considered to be the most popular character in American soap opera history.{{cite book | title = Current Biography | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=6pMYAAAAIAAJ&q=erica+kane| publisher =H.W. Wilson Company| year = 1986 |pages = 128 (specific page) |access-date = October 14, 2012}} TV Guide calls her "unequivocally the most famous soap opera character in the history of daytime TV," and included her in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.Bretts, Bruce; Roush, Matt; (March 25, 2013). "Baddies to the Bone: The 60 nastiest villains of all time". TV Guide. pp. 14 - 15.
Lucci was nominated for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series Emmy for her work on All My Children almost every year beginning in 1978. 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. 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. 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.").
After 18 nominations, she finally won in 1999; Lucci received a standing ovation upon receiving the award, which was presented by Shemar Moore.{{cite news|first=Tom|last=O'Neil|title=Lost and Housewives committed Emmy suicide|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=July 6, 2006|access-date=July 10, 2006|url=http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2006/07/desperate_house.html|archive-date=July 17, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060717125032/http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2006/07/desperate_house.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite news| first=Lisa| last=de Moraes |title=For the Primetime Emmys, a Series of Changes|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=July 6, 2006|access-date=October 26, 2008 |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/05/AR2006070501599.html}}

Lucci played a Scrooge-like department store owner visited by Marley and the three ghosts on Christmas.Television critic Lynne Heffley from Los Angeles Times gave it a positive review writing: "Soap queen Susan Lucci of “All My Children” is fun to watch as a severely tailored, unsmiling boss, spreading misery wherever she goes on Christmas Eve, whether firing a security guard or deciding the store’s traditional window display has got to go."{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-12-04-ca-10116-story.html|title=TV REVIEW : 'Ebbie' a Nice Twist on the Dickens Classic|first=Lynne|last=Heffley|date=December 4, 1995|website=Los Angeles Times}} In 1998 she returned to thrillers with Blood on Her Hands.

Lucci competed in season 7 of Dancing with the Stars with dance partner Tony Dovolani. She said that Dancing had asked her to appear before, but she had turned it down, in part, because of the travel it would have required of her (at the time Dancing taped in Los Angeles while All My Children taped in New York). Lucci later changed her mind, in part, because of the experience of fellow All My Children star Cameron Mathison, who finished fifth in season 5.[http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Things-Dancing-Stars/Dancing-Stars-2008/800044487 Dancing with the Stars Season 7 Cast Includes Olympic Gold-Medalist] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205044855/http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Things-Dancing-Stars/Dancing-Stars-2008/800044487 |date=December 5, 2008 }}" TV Guide.
