We are heartbroken. Our hearts are with Susan Lucci….. Read full story in comment

Susan Lucci, best known as Erica Kane from *All My Children*, wasn’t born into fame. Raised by a nurse and a contractor, she was an honor student and cheerleader before studying drama in college. She even qualified for the Miss Universe pageant but skipped the finals to focus on school—at her father’s insistence.

Lucci has faced major personal challenges: miscarriages, her husband’s cancer, and later his death in 2022. She also battled heart disease, undergoing surgeries in 2019 and 2022. She now speaks publicly about women’s heart health.

Despite her losses, Lucci remains strong. At 76, she continues to shine—on social media and in the public eye—proving that resilience and grace can last a lifetime.
