AMC: Susan Lucci & 'Precious' director Lee Daniels

From Michael Logan:

Great interview! Lucci rocks

[Sylph]

It sure is and she sure does. She is definitely not the greatest actress to have walked the Earth, but there is such joy of life and positivity about her, it's contagious!

[dragonflies]

Yeah there is. She truly seems like such a genuine person. It's why she's lasted so long on AMC IMO

[Sylph]

Yes, charisma must have been a quite relevant factor. She never found the genre beneath her, defended it and treated her fans they way one should.

[R Sinclair]

Sylph and Angie getting along. How touching!

[marceline]

Don't count SuLu out just yet. Isn't this the same woman who tried to dance hip-hop on DWTS? I believe that SL would be perfectly willing to throw caution to the wind for the right opportunity. What would she have to lose? Should she have a lead role? No. But an uncredited supporting role in the picture? She'd tear it up.

Great to hear La Lucci's reaction. Even if nothing comes of this, I'm sure she's happy to know that Lee Daniels is a fan.

I was watching that on YouTube just yesterday! I STILL had to cover my eyes and peak through my fingers. Just wowwww... that, her thinking she won her second Emmy, and being punk'd on Bloopers and Practical Jokes (still haven't seen that one!) are her trifecta of worst public moments.

That could all change though--he's being spoken about as director of a big budget film of that classic over the top Euro-Mega-Musical Miss Saigon. (and I don't see ANY role for Susan there LOL)

[EricMontreal22]

She was punked? I wanna see!

Dancing with the Stars was so disappointing for me as a huge fan of her. You could tell she was trying her hardest but she was so stiff for most of it--she was thinking WAY too much. She should have approached the dances as Erica Kane or something.

Is this the video, Eric?

Someone, I forget who and I'd love to give them credit, described on here how she was pranked on B&PJ. I don't know if you got it in Canada, but it was Punk'd before Punk'd and hosted by Dick Clark and Ed McMahon. Anyway, the prank was that Susan was scheduled to appear on GMA/The Today Show and she was "late" so the producers had a lookalike go on in her stead, I think in a hat and sunglasses. Well Susan flipped and apparently she was cussing up a storm because they had to bleep her and cut to long shots so you couldn't read her lips. Helmut was in on it. Would LOVE to see that...

[SFK]

I will NEVER forget that, my mom and I were like, "OHHH myyy GAHHHHHHD..."

[Pine Charles]

HaHa! I watched with my mom, too, and we had the EXACT same reaction. I remember covering my eyes with one of the throw pillows on the sofa.
