All My Life: A Memoir

When Susan Lucci and All My Children were introduced to the world in 1970, American television changed forever. Susan's character, the beautiful, spirited, and mercurial Erica Kane, was an original—the first vixen viewers loved to hate. But while millions have enjoyed getting to know Erica's many sides, the woman who played her has remained a mystery.

In her long-awaited memoir, this very private actress, wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, friend, and entrepreneur pulls back the curtain to reveal her story. As charming, down-to-earth, and compelling as the woman whose story it tells, All My Life shines a spotlight on one of our most popular stars and reminds us of the power of dreams and how we can find the courage and tenacity to make them come true.

This edition contains a new chapter about the landmark final season of All My Children.

Susan Lucci won the Emmy Award for Best Actress for her role as Erica Kane on ABC’s All My Children in May 1999, garnered a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in January 2005, and was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 2006. Named one of Vstrong’s 200 Top Icons of All-Time and one of Barbara Walters’s Ten Most Fascinating People among her many honors, she lives in Garden City, New York, with her husband, Helmut Huber.
