Susan Lucci Wants to Come Back to Broadway, but Only for the Right Part

According to Page Six, Susan Lucci (Annie Get Your Gun) has been offered parts to return to the Great White Way, but "It has to be the right part. I am not looking to play a soft little lamb. It has to be a juicy seductress role. Let me put it this way, if 'Dynasty' were to become a play, I'd want to be Alexis," the actress told Page Six at the opening night of A Bronx Tale on Broadway.

In addition to narrating a video for UCP of NYC and Susan G. Komen to help raise breast health awareness for women with disabilities, Ms. Lucci's charitable work is wide-ranging. Her commitment to helping children has taken her to Africa in support of Feed the Children. She has served as the March of Dimes National Ambassador in 2000, and as a celebrity spokesperson for AMDeC (Academic Medicine Development Company) and The New York Cancer Project. She has also been involved with Broadway Cares Equity Fights Aids and is the recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the prestigious New York City Gracie Award, and the Muse Award for Women in Film & Television. She was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame and in 2005 she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was inducted into the American Academy of Achievement Awards and presented with the Italian Board of Guardians Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2015, Ms Lucci was honored with the Disney Legends Award and the Arthur Ashe Leadership Award.
