They inspired the highly imaginative child who loved make-believe to craft one of the most enduring characters in television history, an achievement that would earn her a record twenty-one Emmy nominations—the most for an actor in the award's history—and the crown as \"Leading Lady of Daytime.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Lucci and \u003cem\u003eAll My Children\u003c\/em\u003e were introduced to the world in 1971, 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—and have been awed at how this character has continually remade herself—the woman who plays her has remained a mystery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her long-awaited memoir, this very private actress, wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, friend, and entrepreneur pulls back the curtain to reveal her story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan, like Erica Kane, has undergone a metamorphosis many times. \u003cem\u003eAll My Life\u003c\/em\u003e shares the stories of those transformations: starring in roles on television and stage, where she took Broadway not just by storm but \"by tsunami\" as one critic raved about her performance in \u003cem\u003eAnnie Get Your Gun\u003c\/em\u003e; mounting successful cabaret acts (solo and with Regis Philbin); bringing art and joy back to New York in the wake of 9\/11; conquering the tango with Tony Dovolani on ABC's hit show \u003cem\u003eDancing with the Stars\u003c\/em\u003e; and building a successful career as an entrepreneur with a signature line of products. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan goes beyond her success to talk about the darker moments, too, including the childhood guilt she harbored over the death of her dear grandmother, the car accident that nearly took away her career and her eyesight, her newborn son's life-threatening illness, coping with her husband's cancer, and the pain of miscarriage—one of the many parallels between her Erica Kane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs charming, down-to-earth, and compelling as the woman whose story it tells, \u003cem\u003eAll My Life\u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148058542320,"sku":"9780062125415","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062125415_p0.jpg?v=1769911182","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062125415","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
