Veronica Lake

Veronica Lake died of hepatitis in Burlington, Vermont at the age of 53. Her star will be installed in early 2005. She also co-produced and starred in 1970's Flesh Feast, an infamous low-budget horror film that was to be her swan song. In late 2004, Lucci revealed to Soap Opera Digest that she has earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After the early 1950s, she rarely appeared on screen. After eighteen failed nominations, it came as a shock to both her as well as the viewing audience when she finally won in 1999. Her noted movies included Sullivan's Travels, This Gun for Hire, and The Blue Dahlia. Lucci's name became synonymous with never winning an award, and she was even asked to parody her loss on Saturday Night Live (in the skit, even the hairdresser won an Emmy, while she did not).

During World War II she changed her trademark hairstyle to get her hair out of her eyes as a publicity move to encourage women working at war industries to adopt more practical hairstyles. The long period without a win ended up being the source of many jokes. Lake popularized an iconic hairstyle, with one of her eyes always obscured by her blonde hair. She was nominated for an Emmy for her work on All My Children almost every year since 1978, losing many times to fellow ABC soap actress, Erika Slezak. She was born in Brooklyn, New York with the name Constance Frances Marie Ockleman. Many critics praised her performance and the film has become a holiday favorite. Veronica Lake (14 November 1919 - 7 July 1973) was a popular American film actress, most famous during the 1940s. Lucci played a Scrooge-like department store owner visited by Marley and the three ghosts on Christmas.

This film was an updated version of Dickens's classic A Christmas Carol. In 1995, Lucci appeared in the Lifetime television movie Ebbie. She has appeared in a number of television shows and made-for-TV movies. She is best known for the role of Erica Kane (full name Erica Kane Martin Brent Cudahy Chandler Montgomery Montgomery Chandler Marick Marick) on the ABC television soap opera All My Children, on which she has appeared since the show's inception on January 5, 1970.

She is the mother of fellow soap actress Liza Huber. Susan Lucci (born December 23, 1947 in Scarsdale, New York) is an Italian American Daytime Emmy-award winning actress.
