Susan Lucci, the daytime actress on All My Children, is known for her leading role as Erica Kane, the stubborn, selfish teen that later developed into a mischievous vixen.
On this day, June 28th, in 1990, Susan Lucci watches as another actress accepts the Emmy Award for Best Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama for the eleventh time. At the 17th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, Lucci loses yet again, but is never discouraged because she knows her work is adequate enough to at least be nominated.
It was not until her 18th nomination that Lucci’s losing streak was finally over, and she was presented with a well-deserved Emmy.
