Susan talks about the Emmy incident:
When the winner was announced (SUSAN FLANNERY, "The Bold and the Beautiful"), Lucci was backstage and couldn't hear the name. But both the Daytime Emmy cameraman and stage manager thought they did, and urged her to go out on stage.
"I was getting cued," she continues, "but I never heard my name. I was glued to my mark and I couldn't move. They said, 'It's you!" I said, 'Isn't it Susan Flannery?' They said, 'No, it's you, it's you.'"
Then Lucci heard the "All My Children" music in her headset, which meant the control room goofed up, too! "At that point, I thought, 'Okay it must be me,'" she explains. "I took a few steps out, and I could see Susan Flannery coming toward the stage, so I thought, 'Probably not,' and went back."
Lucci believes that everyone backstage legitimately thought they heard her name. Since then, the producers from DICK CLARK Productions have called and apologized -- and their apology was accepted.
P.S. Lucci sends her congratulations to Flannery, this year's winner for Best Actress.
