44. SUSAN LUCCI
A tribute by costar Cameron Mathison: ''I've never seen anybody that has the incredible ability to juggle so many things but also be a down-to-earth, genuine, kind person. She comes to All My Children, and everything is such high priority. Every word that comes out of her mouth is thought about. She comes in prepared. She comes in caring. She is the number one professional. What Susan brings [to her character, Erica Kane] is behind the words — the real person. I really, in many ways, try to follow in Susan's footsteps. Susan always has a scope beyond everybody else's.''
