How can this woman, who has been married at least 10 times - and been so angry / jealous / manipulative / scheming / whining / unconscious /murderous / lovely and fabulous most that time - be so tiny and have such flawless skin? Erica Kane is the daytime diva of all time on All My Children (she came to the show in 1970 and is
she’s single, again!). As if that wasn’t enough, actress Susan Lucci is going to charm us in a new role: celebrity contestant on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, starting Sept. 22.
Now we get to see her floating on air, chiffon whirling around her in barely appropriate dresses meant to show us just how tiny her waist is.
Fine. Want in on some of her secrets?
Start with that damnably pretty skin, perhaps due to her personal microdermabrasion skin line, Youthful Essence, All My Children ($30, automatic delivery).
That perfect body? Apparently it’s all about Malibu Pilates, a workout kit with several DVD programs, a “Perfect Abs” workout chair, and a guide to eating right ($315).
Home Shopping Network has her fragrances, La Lucci, (green and floral, $19.50), and Invitation, (her signature scent and a brilliant name for a perfume, $19.50, pictured).
Buff and delicately scented now? Dip your toe into Lucci’s fashion and jewelry lines. Look how nicely her peep-toe patent D’Orsay pumps ($50) accompany the satin clutch with bow wristlet ($40). And we can totally see ourselves accessorizing her black or white lace peasant blouse ($50) with her Moroccan stretch bracelet ($23) and Moroccan drop earrings ($20). Hmm, perhaps long, swirling cut-away-chiffon and skin-tight sequins may work for us after all.
