Susan Lucci is setting the record straight on her 18 consecutive Daytime Emmy Award losses. "I am frequently asked how I felt not to win the Emmy all those years? That's easy! Not great," Lucci, 79, wrote in her La Lucci memoir, released on Tuesday, February 3. "After my ninth year of not hearing my name called for Best Actress, I pretty much stopped hearing the name that was called when the envelope was opened." Lucci said her "hearing went numb" when she wasn't given the award. "I listened, but I didn't hear," she explained.
