built 650 days ago
Lucci always knew she would act. Growing up on New York’s Long Island, she remembers turning on the television so early most mornings that the day’s programming hadn’t even started. Late at night, she sneaked out of bed and sat at the top of the stairs as her parents watched TV in the room below.

During the holiday season, Lucci made her Broadway debut in the title role of Annie Get Your Gun. At one show, she hosted a March of Dimes group backstage. She visited NYU Medical Center with MOD national ambassador Mackenzie Brooks (pictured), a healthy and happy six-year-old from New Jersey.

Lucci counts among her highlights a food fight that filled 13 script pages, was choreographed by a celebrated fight director and took a full day of rehearsal. She mentions her character’s modeling scene at New York landmarks, notably in a fountain in front of the Plaza Hotel with the temperature in the single digits.

In October 2006, Susan was trapped in a flooded car during a torrential downpour in the Hamptons area of New York. A passing motorist helped her climb out of the window. (edit)

[W]hen VH-1 named her one of their “200 Top Icons of all Time,” Susan was thrilled and honored by the reference. Her work and her contribution to the entertainment community and beyond had become timeless and any new endeavor she partakes will only continue to add dimension to her already multi-faceted and award-winning career.
