Sorry but this is just too funny....

Height and Weight of Susan Lucci: Why Suzy Ain’t Normal

http://www.articlealley.com/article_865167_23.html

Interesting Entertainment Weekly article about SL and AMC from 1994, entitled "Desperately Slipping Susan?"

Honestly, I don't know what to believe anymore. Articles such as these make it sound as if La Lucci was/is insecure about her fading status on AMC (and that Gellar's just an absolute doll to work with); yet, other stories - not just from AMC set-siders, but even folks who worked w/ SMG on "Buffy" - make it seem the other way around (namely, that Gellar's prissy diva). Like I said, I don't know what to believe. Is it possible that the change in storytelling, thanks to then-new HW Megan McTavish, had a lot to do with it?

It does seem to me, though, that the show definitely was grooming SMG to be the next-generation Erica - except what SMG lacked that SL didn't was an ability to connect with the audience on a deeply personal level. No matter how rotten Erica would act sometimes BITD, you still rooted for her, b/c her innate insecurity and vulnerability always came to the surface. (Plus, it helped tremendously, I think, to have Mona always in her corner, rationalizing her daughter's actions, but never letting her off the hook.) SMG's Kendall, OTOH, what just a b***h you wanted to choke.

Knowing how Lucci presents herself, she won't reveal anything interesting or juicy. Who would buy 200 pages of her put-on stories for appearances? LOL

No doubt, it'll be the written/printed equivalent of this:

plastic surgery

Are you implying that she's done anything other than use Youthful Essence®!?

No, she's used other things in the past. Such as...

Oh please.. Granny Erica is twice my age but looks half my age... She had to have something done

Does that make your face not move??

I'd like to know how she felt about being introduced as "Erica" when on another show:

This book is gonna be such a fluff piece.

I am sure she has had an enjoyable life, but there really isn't much professionally to fill a book with. She really only has had one TV job regularly, plus a few TV movies and a month long stint on Dallas. She can't even tell all about the big shots she has worked with because she never worked with anybody other than the a handful of people most people never heard of.

Yeah. I can hardly see this including anything interesting. It's not as if she's going to air any dirty laundry. lol

Wait, Eri-, er, Susan Lucci was on the "Pyramid"? Yeah, I know, she was the celebrity guest, not one of the contestants. But still, the "Pyramid"!

A little off topic, but can we have Kristina Malandro help Susan with her book, like Felicia helped Lila on GH? I would love to hear her run around town saying, "memoir" in that faux-french high-pitched screech that dominated GH in the fall of 2004.
