Susan Lucci’s ‘La Lucci’ Debuts Today Amid Revival Rumors
Susan Lucci released her highly anticipated memoir La Lucci today, February 3, offering fans an intimate look at her decades-long journey in entertainment—while the legendary soap opera star continues to hint that All My Children could stage a comeback.
The 79-year-old actress, best known for her iconic role as Erica Kane on the beloved daytime drama, revealed that a revival of the show is ‘bubbling as we speak.’ While appearing on the Soapy podcast hosted by Greg Rikaart and Rebecca Budig, Lucci confirmed that speculation about the program’s return has persisted for years, with momentum continuing to build.
New Memoir Explores Life’s Journey
In La Lucci, Lucci opens up about her personal and professional evolution, exploring themes of love, joy, reinvention, and resilience in the face of profound loss. According to the book’s description, the memoir provides stories she has never publicly shared before, presented in her own voice after more than a year of writing.
“I’ve been working on this book for over a year—it’s my voice as you’ve never heard it before,” Lucci shared on social media. “I’m so proud to bring it to you.”
A Storied Career in Daytime Television
Lucci’s connection to All My Children spans decades. She joined the show at its premiere in 1970 and remained with it until its finale in 2011, making her one of daytime television’s most enduring stars. The soap opera, which ran for 40 years, captivated audiences with its compelling storylines and memorable characters.
The possibility of a revival has long captured fans’ imagination. When asked whether her character Greenlee Smythe would still be alive in a potential return, Budig—who played the role and left the show in 2011—joked about the uncertain status. “I hope so!” Lucci replied, reminiscing on their time working together.
Memoir Follows Earlier Success
This marks Lucci’s second memoir, following All My Life, published in October 2011 shortly after the show ended. The new book represents a fresh chapter in her storytelling, offering deeper insights into her personal journey through Hollywood’s landscape.
La Lucci is available now for readers eager to discover the untold chapters of one of daytime television’s most iconic figures.
