When the show began, Erica was a 15-year-old high school student, and by the time the series ended in 2011, she had married 10 times and had three children. Lucci was nominated for her first Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1978 but didn’t win until her 19th nomination. Susan’s performance on the show led to a “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig in 1990, and Mattel produced Erica Kane dolls in 1998 and 1999. Lucci spent 41 years playing Erica Kane, and the role earned her more than 30 award nominations.

Quotes
“I was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award 19 times before I won. The first nine years, I heard someone else’s name called; after that – I think it was a protective thing – I didn’t hear whose name was called, but nobody was making eye contact with me, so I knew that it wasn’t mine.”
