All My Children alum Susan Lucci has thrilled fans with a major announcement: she’s releasing a new memoir titled La Lucci, set to hit shelves in February 2026.
The news, shared via ABC News, marks a significant moment for the 78-year-old actress, best known for her iconic role as Erica Kane on All My Children.
Lucci, who has captivated audiences for over four decades, first teased the project earlier this year during her All My Children at 55 reunion event in New York City, where she reflected on her storied career alongside Andy Cohen.
All About La Lucci
Now, the memoir promises to offer an intimate look into her life—both on and off the screen. Fans can expect Lucci to delve into her 41-year journey portraying Erica Kane, a role that earned her 21 Daytime Emmy nominations and a long-awaited win in 1999, often referred to as the quintessential “Susan Lucci moment” for anyone achieving a hard-earned victory after multiple setbacks.
La Lucci is expected to cover more than just her professional triumphs. Lucci has faced significant personal challenges, including two heart procedures in recent years, which she has openly discussed to raise awareness about cardiovascular health in women.

The memoir may also touch on her 53-year marriage to Helmut Huber, who passed away in 2022, and her role as a mother to her two children, Liza and Andreas.
As Lucci continues to embrace new chapters at 78, from stage performances to advocacy work, La Lucci promises to be a testament to her resilience, talent, and enduring appeal. Fans can pre-order the memoir now, setting the stage for an eagerly awaited release next year.
