Susan Lucci

Her star will be installed in early 2005. On April of 2004, Mendez relocated for six months to Puerto Rico, for filming of a Hollywood movie. In late 2004, Lucci revealed to Soap Opera Digest that she has earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On Saturday, February 29 of 2004, she married for the second time, this time to a person unknown to the public. After eighteen failed nominations, it came as a shock to both her as well as the viewing audience when she finally won in 1999. Mendez is rumored to be planning a comeback into Latin American and Spanish United States television channels. 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). Lucia debutted as a writer of a soap opera in Miami in 1998.

The long period without a win ended up being the source of many jokes. The public and gossip magazines have also speculated of a supposed rivalry between her and Veronica Castro. 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. But even as she did lead a more private life, she was still under the public's eye, and she has been associated romantically with Luis Miguel and Vicente Fox, among others. Many critics praised her performance and the film has become a holiday favorite. After Amor de Nadie, Mendez semi-retired from acting, leading a more private life. Lucci played a Scrooge-like department store owner visited by Marley and the three ghosts on Christmas. The soap opera's title song also became a smash hit for Mendez.

This film was an updated version of Dickens's classic A Christmas Carol. In Amor de Nadie, she played a rape victim who has five men fighting for her love. In 1995, Lucci appeared in the Lifetime television movie Ebbie. In 1990, Mendez came back with another super-hit soap opera, Amor de Nadie, alongside Saul Lisazo and Fernando Allende. She has appeared in a number of television shows and made-for-TV movies. Later on, she and Pedro Torres divorced. 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. In 1988, she married producer Pedro Torres, and in 1989, she had her son Pedrito, who is her only child so far.

She is the mother of fellow soap actress Liza Huber. In Tu o Nadie, her brother played a pshysically challenged person. Susan Lucci (born December 23, 1947 in Scarsdale, New York) is an Italian American Daytime Emmy-award winning actress. In 1986, she starred alongside Andres Garcia and Salvador Pineda in international super-hit Tu o Nadie, where she sang the Corazon de Piedra (Heart of Stone) song, which also became a smashing hit, on the Mexican and Latin American music charts. In 1983, she was crowned as Queen of Vina Del Mar at the prestigious Viņa Del Mar Festival in Chile. During the 1980s, her star kept on growing, as she reached international superstar status.

Subsequently, she was cast on many other soap oeras, and by the mid 1970s, she was a well known superstar throughout Mexico. She acted in her first soap opera, Paloma, simultaneusly. Mendez began her career in 1972, acting in a movie named Cabalgando a la Luna (Horse-riding to the Moon). She has been the star of several Spanish soap operas.
