Painter Regina Brandt Debuts New Painting Called La Lucci

September 24th, 2011 - Sullivan, IL

Hello! My name is Regina Brandt. The name of this work is called, "La Lucci", and this is an acrylic painting on 16 × 20 canvas of the very beautiful Susan Lucci (aka Erica Kane & La Lucci). This is my tribute to Susan Lucci, a very talented actress from the soap opera, All My Children. Regis Philbin said he started calling Susan Lucci, “La Lucci” when the pair were touring with a club act. He thought he had coined it but found that Lucci’s ‘All My Children’ co-stars had been calling her that for years. While she’s not sure who started it, Lucci thinks no one would have remembered the nickname without Philbin. For the cast of ‘All My Children’ and ‘One Life To Live’…Thank you for all of the memories and great stories throughout the years, and hopefully we have many more stories to come.
