My Take
What floors me about Susan Lucci is the sheer endurance. Playing Erica Kane across the entire 1970–2011 run of All My Children isn't acting so much as inhabiting a life, and few performers ever fuse with a character that completely. Daytime drama gets dismissed as lesser television, but showing up day after day and becoming part of viewers' routines is its own brutal discipline, different from film stardom but no easier. Rising from Scarsdale to the highest-paid actor in daytime, then earning Disney Legend status, she proved that consistency, not just flash, builds a genuine icon. I respect that quiet stamina enormously.
