Susan Lucci
Plays: Erica KaneBio
It's simple: Susan Lucci is the most famous face on daytime television.
She's spent 35 years as Erica Kane on All My Children. Recently, VH-1 named Lucci one of their "200 Top Icons of all Time," as her work and her contribution to the entertainment community and beyond have become known to those that don't even watch soap operas.
In May 1999, this veteran actress FINALLY won the Emmy Award for Best Actress. It was a historic moment after 19 losses in a row. It was also a stepping stone onto the stage:
Later that year, she made her Broadway debut as Annie Oakley in the revival of Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun. Said Michael Logan of TV Guide: "Susan Lucci didn't just take Great White by storm: she took it by tornado, hurricane and tsunami, too."

Quotes
Kendall Hart Cambias: No? Ok. All right, fine. Honestly, tell me this... if your father were still alive, standing here right now, what would you do?
Erica Kane: I'd kill him! But you can't equate Ryan with my father.
Kendall Hart Cambias: Ok, well, yes, I agree the crimes were completely different, but the result was pain. Someone hurts you, you make them suffer.
Erica Kane: Well, you wanted me to suffer once. You remember how that turned out.
Kendall Hart Cambias: Yes, but I was a kid. Now I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing and I love it. There is nothing more satisfying than paying back hurt for hurt. It's ok, mother, you don't have to worry about me.
Erica Kane: No, I'm scared for you, Kendall. I'm scared for all of us. I'm scared for you and Bianca and myself.
