All My Children  News -Susan Lucci Calls Late Husband ‘Hard Act To Follow’

Because only 10 months have passed since Huber died, Susan wants to wait before thinking about romance for a second time. “10 months… it’s not a long time,” she pointed out. “It’s not on my radar. … He was a very hard act to follow.”

Susan appeared at the American Heart Association’s Red Dress Collection as part of her quest to highlight the importance of health care for women. The actress even walked in the American Heart Association’s celebrity fashion show. Lucci became motivated to take up the cause after undergoing emergency cardiac surgery to implant two stents in 2018.

But Susan recalled that she tried to ignore the pain at the time. And she didn’t know the severity of her situation. “I had a slight pressure on my chest, but I kept ignoring it, as we women do. ‘It’ll go away, it’ll go away.’ But the third time, I couldn’t ignore it,” recalled Lucci. 

And after it got to the point where she “felt like an elephant pressing on my chest, the soap star gave in. At St. Francis Hospital, she learned she had a 90 percent blockage in my main artery.” And Lucci also experienced “a 75 percent blockage in the adjacent.”
