People

“Lucci is giving an intimate look at her personal and professional life in her new memoir, La Lucci…And though La Lucci is filled with plenty of humorous anecdotes about her All My Children days, she also gets candid about grieving her husband Helmut (who died in 2022) and her health…You might not expect a primer on women’s health statistics from a celebrity memoir, but Lucci is careful to include essential facts about cardiovascular disease for readers.”
