All My Life

A Memoir

De: Susan Lucci

Narrado por: Susan Lucci

When Susan Lucci and All My Children were introduced to the world in 1971, American television changed forever. Susan's character, the beautiful, spirited, and mercurial Erica Kane, was an original. But while millions have enjoyed getting to know Erica's many sides, the woman who plays her has remained a mystery.

In her long-awaited memoir, this very private entertainment icon pulls back the curtain to reveal her own story. Warm, candid, and inviting, All My Life chronicles Susan's journey from her childhood to playing Erica Kane and from finding true love to living that "Cinderella moment" when she finally won her Emmy.

As charming, down-to-earth, and compelling as the woman whose story it tells, All My Life reminds us of the power of dreams and how we can all find the courage and tenacity to make them come true.

Susan did a great job writing this book... She put words together in a way that we can be very close to her story and to her... She is adorable and a great professional and the book came to confirm it! Thank you

Perfection from La Lucci

What a fun listen! From the opening chapter at the Daytime Emmys when she won her long-awaited award to her last days on AMC...Susan tells us every story in between. I love hearing about her early days in New York and the sacrifices made by her and her husband. Like any good soap opera...Susan also included secrets and background into her famous life. If you love Susan or Erica Kane...you will love this book.

Very Entertaining!

Susan Lucci's memoir is a very enjoyable listen!

I must admit--I am a fan from way back in the beginning years of All My Children, so I certainly knew bits and pieces of her story. But what a well-written and beautifully read book--I was truly surprised! She seems to be a lovely lady with a beautiful family, and I will always remember this memoir fondly and wish her well.

Like the positive outlook 😍

It was ok for me.Well read however it is just not possible to have not single bad day. Sorry Susan😜

Entertaining Account of her Life

She recounts the story of her life and all that happened to her. She is a positive upbeat person. I appreciate how she speaks well of others. It wasn't a deep account of her life, but her personality shines through. You can tell she struggled at times with hoping she could have a career and be a good mother--however, she reconciles that.

loved it!

narrator was awesome just hearing her voice again. It was such a great story! love her.

Cinderella??

I have been an AMC fan since the show started when I was 15, and have always admired Erica Cain. I couldn't wait to hear about Susan's life, but have been disappointed in the book. I don't think I can hear one more gushy story of how wonderful her life has been. Perfect husband, perfect children, perfect parents, perfect career. Makes me want to be sick...
