Susan Lucci Publishes ‘La Lucci,’ Sharing Grief, ‘Signs’ From Her Husband and an Emmy Reality Check

Lucci frames the book as a candid account of losing Helmut Huber in 2022, finding comfort in unexpected signs.

Overview

  • La Lucci, released Feb. 3 by Blackstone Publishing, intertwines Lucci’s public career with deeply personal reflections as she promotes the memoir through new interviews.
  • Lucci recounts Huber’s March 2022 stroke, emergency surgery and doctor‑induced coma, writing that he never recovered and that she felt “like half a person” in the aftermath.
  • She describes recurring ‘signs’ she associates with Huber, including unexpected pairs of dimes linked to his 10/10 birthday and feathers appearing in unlikely places.
  • Addressing long‑running rumors about her Daytime Emmys run, Lucci says there were no backstage meltdowns during her 18 straight losses before winning in 1999 on her 19th nomination, part of 21 career nods.
  • Providing a health update, the 79‑year‑old says her heart tests are “perfect” after stent procedures in 2018 and 2022, and she continues advocacy as a Go Red for Women ambassador.
