Great link carl, I was not familiar with that YT account. They have a lot of interesting stuff, and I was lucky to stumble upon this immediately

Interesting look.

WTF !!!!

In her new memoir, I'm Just Sayin', KZ admits she wouldn't have worn her hair that way had she known she was going to win.

Here is the vid LOL

This was a nice little story on Lucci, but the nicest part was even after all these years even CBS news knows what the true AMC theme is. Lucci looks amazing in that clip walking along the street. It's unreal how from a distance she looks like a woman 30 years younger.

Amen.

[Pipe dream]I hope PP brings it (and the photo album) back in an updated form, since it's probably much cheaper than the current opening.[/Pipe dream]

2:35 took my breath away. And I love the way she looked before she cut her hair in the Betty Ford s/l ("NO, I am not going to a CLINIC!")

Such beauty

I thought ol' Helmut was always a restauranteur.

choose a restaurant near the studio so Susan can make a pre-rehearsal session of "All My Children."

Looking at Susan, her long dark hair hanging against her face, you wonder if she has always been the Cinderella of the ball. Apparently not. "As a child," says Susan, "well, I was very shy...I always kept to myself.

"I look back on those years, the years of 11 through 18, well they weren't very good happy ones for me. I think of myself in as being very ugly and fat, and I was never very comfortable being around people. It wasn't that I was unpopular - I was a cheerleader - I think it's more that everything was such an effort for me. I think I was trying too hard to please everyone, but myself."

Susan was brought up in the Catholic faith and went to Marymount, a catholic college. She was raised to observe her religion which means that her homelife may not have been as permissive as others. "Oh, my family," she says, gleam in her eye, "they're very Italian."

Susan was born in Scarsdale and raised in Garden City, New York. her parents encouraged her to pursue various interests, such as sketching and horseback riding.

When she was only 16 she participated in the Garden City Ambassador Program which allowed her to be away in Norway for three months. "I guess I always loved Europe and the Europeans, even as a youngster," she says. "There's something about being in Europe, well, I would like to live there permanently someday. It seems to me that people know how to live more fully there. Romance is not just an image there, it really exists. And the men, well, for me there's nothing like a continental man."

Susan is married to Helmuth Huber, an Austrian corporate executive for an American hotel chain. Now how contiental can you get? "Yes, he's very Austrian looking," she says, "and he is older than I. I guess I always knew I wanted someone more mature than myself.

"I had first met Helmuth when I was a hostess in a dining room. There may have been a chemistry then, but the age difference at that time was too great.

"Three years later I was engaged to be married and Helmuth came to the party. helmuth knew I wasn't going to be engaged for long, and when that was over, three months later we were engaged and eight months later we were married. We had a big and beautiful wedding, one that I will always remember.

"I think that loving someone...well, there must be a great deal of romance involved. But more than that, to me, loving my husband means making him happy. And I believe that when you are in love with someone you must always be yourself so that you know who it is if you are loving and who you love.

"I will say this, now is the happiest time of my life. I've never been happier, and that's because of my husband. Love is the center of my life.

"Don't get me wrong. I need my career as well, and for me there is room for both. I have my husband and I have my career. I'm not one for groups or cliques. I love to act and I love being Mrs. Huber. That's enough for me.

"I enjoy living. Helmuth and I enjoy the same things. We both love to travel. this Christmas we went skiing in France. We both love skiing. We love fine dining. (By the way, Helmuth's an excellent cook.)"

Susan now begins talking about "All My Children." "I enjoy it," she says. "It's nice to know that I'm working, and I really like the case. Fran Heflin and I are always talking together. And I like Larry Keith. Helmuth and I go out socially sometimes with Jack and Renee Stauffer. Recently, I find that I have many things in common with Judith Barcroft.

"I like playing Erica. I think she's a very interesting character. Perhaps, it's that I understand her. At first she was just this troublemaker, but now she is presented much more sympathetically. Erica, like myself when I was younger, is always trying to please people, always trying to make people like her. She is extremely insecure. Because of this insecurity, she is very interesting to play."

The time is running short. We meet Jack and Renee Stauffer at the restaurant and the conversation turns to skiing. Then Renee asks Susan where her butcher is located. Does Susan Lucci go to a butcher? God made her just too beautiful for that!

Oh my God. In another time and place, Liza and Andreas would be beige and calling me Daddy. On the bed, at the piano, and the one in between, these are the hottest pictures of her in her youth that I have ever seen.

(The one of her standing kind of looks like a robot Margie Impert.)

We're probably two of about five people who'd know Margie Impert.

I do really like the one at the piano.

It's interesting to see pre-"Queen of Daytime"/"AMC=Erica Kane" Susan Lucci.

I find actors interesting. However, stars I find to be boring.

Now I just wish we had photos where she holds a guitar or talks about EST (two of the staples of these articles).

1973 Afternoon TV Special

Daaaaaaaamn. Young, early 70s Erica, Tara, and Phil were gorgeous, and poor Chuck was a goober.
