NORMAN ONCE SAID,

"I'M NOT IN THIS
BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY.

I'M IN THIS BUSINESS
TO CHANGE THE WORLD."

THAT. [APPLAUSE]

TO RECEIVE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT

SOMETHING ALMOST TOO INCREDIBLE
TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU'VE

HONED AND REFINED YOUR CRAFT
FOR LONGER THAN MOST CAN EVEN

FATHOM, WHEN YOU'VE KEPT THE
SAME EAGER, BRIGHTSIDE OUTLOOK

TOWARD EVERYONE YOU'VE EVER
WORKED WITH, WHEN YOU'VE

ENCOURAGED OTHERS EVERY
STEP OF THE WAY, YOU DESERVE

RECOGNITION. TONIGHT'S

SHE'S STARRED IN THE LIFETIME

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
THIS IS THE GOOD PART.

WORLDWIDE. ON THE
ABC DAYTIME DRAMA

"ALL MY CHILDREN"
FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS,

THIS WOMAN IS A TRUE
LIVING TV LEGEND.

I'M SO PROUD, AS I WAS ONCE
UPON A TIME BACK IN 1999 WHEN I

PRESENTED HER WITH HER FIRST
EMMY AFTER 19 NOMINATIONS AND I

FLIPPED OVER THE CARD AND I
DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS GOING TO

WIN. I FLIPPED
OVER THE CARD AND I

ALMOST COST. I WAS LIKE "OH!"

AND I SAID "THE STREAK
IS OVER!" RIGHT?

YOU ALL KNOW HORN
TALKING ABOUT. ALL RIGHT?

THERE IS SUPPOSED
TO BE MORE SCRIPT.

YOU ALL KNOW WARM TALKING
ABOUT. I READ IT IN THE CAR.

LET ME WING IT. I SAID
THE STREAK IS OVER.

TONIGHT I'M VERY PROUD

GIVE IT UP. SUSAN LUCCI.

AND YOU BETRAYED OUR MARRIAGE.
I WILL NOT LET MY COMPANY DOWN

AND I WILL NOT LET MY FANS DOWN
AND I WILL NOT LET MYSELF DOWN.

YOU ARE A PISTOL. BANG-BANG.

YOU KNOW WHEN I WANT SOMETHING
BADLY ENOUGH I PULL OUT ALL THE

STOPS. HELLO.

SOMEDAY. SUSAN LUCCI
AND HER PARTNER.

LAST WEEK SUSAN'S
CONSISTENCY CONTINUED.

ERICA KANE AND I ARE BOTH FULL
OF EMOTION AND I'M READY TO

TAKE CONTROL OF THE TANGO.
SUSAN, YOU DESERVE THIS

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AND A
BOOKCASE FULL OF EMMY BURLESQUE

FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION

TO DAYTIME TELEVISION
AND TELEVISION AT LARGE.

YOU ARE THE FIRST DIVA I FELL IN
LOVE WITH AND YOU CAPTIVATED ME

EVER SINCE. TO ACCOMPLISH

FILM, BROADWAY, THE WORLD OF

CABARET. YOUR SUCCESS,
YOUR CHARITY WORK.

MOST RECENTLY ARE VERY
IMPORTANT HEARTFELT MESSAGE.

ENJOY THIS, SUSAN.

YOU DESERVE IT. WE LOVE YOU.

HI, MOM. CONGRATULATIONS

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
WE ARE ALSO PROUD OF YOU AND

LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
CONGRATS, SUSAN ON YOUR

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
WE ARE SO HONORED TO CELEBRATE

YOU AND THE ENORMOUS IMPACT
YOU'VE HAD ON THE INDUSTRY IS

DAYTIME TELEVISION'S
BIGGEST ICON.

MARK AND I HAVE SO MANY FOND
MEMORIES FROM OUR DAYS TOGETHER

ON "ALL MY CHILDREN." WITHOUT
QUESTION THE BEST MEMORY

EVER WAS WATCHING YOU WIN THAT
EMMY AND BREAKING THAT STREAK.

THE STREAK IS
OVER! SUSAN LUCCI!

IT WAS THE MOST THRILLING
THING TO HAPPEN TO ALL OF US IN

THE ROOM. AND YOU DESERVED IT.

SENDING YOU SO MUCH LOVE
ON THIS SPECIAL EVENING.

YOU DESERVE ALL GOOD THINGS.
CONGRATULATIONS, SUSAN.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU. I
MEAN, YOU LOOK ALTOGETHER TOO

YOUNG AND FABULOUS TO BE
RECEIVING A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT

AWARD BUT YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE
ICON AND A TRAILBLAZER.

ACROSS MEDIUMS. SOMEONE
I'VE ALWAYS ADORED AND

LOOKED UP TO.
CONGRATULATIONS, MY FRIEND.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR
THIS HONOR FOR YOU.

SENDING YOU SO MUCH
LOVE. OH, SUSAN.

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. NOBODY
DESERVES THIS AWARD MORE

THAN YOU DO. I HAD SUCH
A GOOD TIME WORKING

WITH YOU ON "ALL MY CHILDREN."
OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT THE DIVA

EVERYBODY THOUGHT YOU WERE.
YOU ARE JUST A TRICK OF THE

TOTAL OPPOSITE. LET ME
JUST PUT IT THIS WAY.

YOU ARE PERMANENTLY
TERRIFIC. CONGRATULATIONS.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE

QUEEN HERSELF, SUSAN
LUCCI. [CHEERING]

OH. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OH, MY GOODNESS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OH, MY GOODNESS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SHEMAR, THANK YOU. I'M
SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE

PRESENTING ME THIS
WONDERFUL AWARD.

I THANK THE ACADEMY, TO THE EMMY
COMMITTEE, CBS, FOR GIVING ME

THIS ENORMOUS HONOR. AND
HOW LUCKY AM I TO DREAM MY

DREAMS OF BECOMING AN ACTRESS
AND GROW UP AND HAVE MY DREAMS

COME TRUE. [APPLAUSE]

THERE WERE OBSTACLES AND
THERE WERE ROADBLOCKS.

I MEAN, THEY WERE ONE OF THE
OBSTACLES AND ROADBLOCKS.

BUT TONIGHT IS A NIGHT TO
CELEBRATE FOR SAYING THANK YOU.

ON THE 19TH NOMINATION
WHEN I HEARD

SHEMAR ANNOUNCE "THE
STREAK IS OVER" AND HE SAID

MY NAME. I BEGAN BY
THANKING GOD FOR ALL

THE MANY BLESSINGS. [APPLAUSE]

I BEGIN THERE AGAIN TONIGHT,
STARTING WITH MY PARENTS FOR

THEIR LOVE. THEY
WERE MEMBERS OF THE

GREATEST GENERATION AND I THANK
THEM FOR THE EXAMPLE THAT THEY

SET FOR ME. FOR ALWAYS
BEING THERE FOR ME

AND FOR TELLING ME I COULD AIM
FOR THE STARS, FOR THE MOON AND

THE STARS, AND
NEVER TO BE AFRAID.

I'M SO GRATEFUL TO THEM. I AM
SO GRATEFUL TO MY TEACHERS.

THEY TAUGHT ME WHAT
I NEEDED TO KNOW.

THEY GAVE ME THE TOOLS.
THEY BELIEVED IN ME.

THEY ENCOURAGED ME, AND THEY
GAVE ME THE TOOLS TO BE THE KIND

OF ACTRESS I WANTED TO BE.
TALKING ABOUT LOCKE, HOW LUCKY

WAS I TO BE PUT IN THE
HANDS OF AGNES NIXON?

[APPLAUSE] AGNES
WAS THE TRAILBLAZER.

SHE WAS THE VISIONARY
STORYTELLER.

GAVE ME THE PART OF A LIFETIME.
THE FABULOUSLY FLAWED ERICA KA

KANE. [APPLAUSE]

YEAH. SHE WAS THE
NAUGHTY GIRL IN

TOWN. SHE WAS THE
BAD GIRL IN TOWN.

SHE WAS THE TROUBLEMAKER.
AND YES, SHE WAS ALL THAT.

BUT AGNES HAD OTHER PLANS FOR
HER TOO IN ADDITION AND FANS

WERE SMART ENOUGH, THEY SAW
BEHIND THE LABELS AND THEY COULD

SEE THAT IN ERICA, SHE WAS A
GIRL WHO HAD DREAMS FOR HERSELF.

UNDERNEATH ALL OF THAT,
NAUGHTINESS, SHE HAD

DETERMINATION AND DRIVE AND
SPIRIT AND SPUNK AND THAT'S WHAT

THEY LOVED AND I'M SO GRATEFUL,
ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO THE FANS

FOR LOVING ERICA KANE EVEN WHEN
THE TIMES WHEN SHE WASN'T SO

LOVABLE. THANKS
TO THEM, I GOT TO

CONTINUE TO PLAY HER AND
PLAY HER AGAIN AND AGAIN.

[APPLAUSE] BUT I SURE
DIDN'T PLAY ALL THOSE

SCENES BY MYSELF. I WAS
ALSO LUCKY TO BE PART OF

THE GREAT COMPANY OF THE MOST
ACCOMPLISHED AND TALENTED ACTORS

IN NEW YORK AT
"ALL MY CHILDREN."

MANY OF WHOM I SEE TONIGHT AND
IT'S THRILLING FOR ME TO SEE

THEM. EDEN REGAL.

FRANCESCA JAMES. WE
WERE IN THE TRENCHES

TOGETHER. I KNOW YOU
ALL KNOW WHAT I'M

TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE EVERYBODY
IN THIS ROOM HAS BEEN IN THE

TRENCHES WITH YOUR
OWN CAST AND CREW.

I JUST NEED TO SAY THIS. I'M
SO PROUD TO BE PART OF THIS

COLLABORATIVE GENRE OF WRITERS,
DIRECTORS, PRODUCERS, ACTORS,

DESIGN TEAMS, AND CREW. WE

OUR HUMAN CONDITION.

EVEN MAKE A LITTLE MAGIC.

TONIGHT IS A NIGHT TO CELEBRATE.
THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR ME

TONIGHT IS THAT MY SON ANDREAS

IS WITH ME. [APPLAUSE]

IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME, HONEY,

CRENSHAW HIGH SCHOOL.

I WAS SITTING RIGHT OVER THERE.
I WAS SITTING OVER THERE.

IT WAS PRETTY COOL. IT'S
AN HONOR TO BE WITH A

KING TODAY. TO BE

WAS SO MEMORABLE AND POWERFUL

AND DOWN-RIGHT GOOD, IT
SIMPLY HAD TO BE HONORED.

THAT'S RIGHT. THIS
CATEGORY HAS UNDERGONE

SEVERAL NAME CHANGES SINCE
ITS FIRST APPEARANCE IN 1980.

THAT'S RIGHT. IT
WAS FIRST CALLED

OUTSTANDING CAMEO APPEARANCE.
NOWADAYS AN OUTSTANDING CAMEO

APPEARANCE WOULD PROBABLY BE
SOMETHING LIKE GEORGE SANTOS

IN THE BACK OF A
TAXI DOING SHOUTOUTS.

YEAH. ONE THING HAS REMAINED

ROCK-SOLID: IF YOU'RE NOMINATED
IN THIS CATEGORY, YOU GAVE

ONE HELLUVA SHOW. HERE

SOULS AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE IN THE THEATER.

MOSTLY I HAVE THIS MOMENT IN
MY LIFE HAVE TO GOD BECAUSE IT

HAPPENED AT A VERY
TENDER MOMENT FOR ME.

I JUST LOST MY BELOVED HUSBAND.
IT WAS PRETTY DRAMATIC AND THEN

I GET ASKED TO PLAY A SERIOUSL
TRAUMATIZED PERSON WHO KILLS A

LOT OF PEOPLE. BUT SHE'S
GOT A HEART OF GOLD.

I PROMISE YOU. SHE'S
BARRELING TOWARDS THE

LIGHT IN THE WORLD IS SO SCREWED

UP RIGHT NOW BUT ALL I CAN SAY
IS TO ALL YOU TRAUMATIZED PEOPLE

OUT THERE AND I'M THE HEAD
OF THE HOMELESS COMMITTEE IN

PIONEERING CAREER IN NEWS

A THING OR TWO.

I CAN'T FATHOM SHE'S GONE.

Nischelle: LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, FROM "THE YOUNG AND

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.

YOU'VE A GREAT
MEMORY MOMENT FOR US.

THIS IS A WHILE NOW, 1985.
THEY ANNOUNCED MY NAME AND I'M

YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED. I
FREAKED OUT AND I RUSH UP ON

THE STAGE. IT WAS LIKE
THIS, LONG STAIRS.

I WALKED RIGHT OUT OF MY SHOE.
SO YOU PANIC AND YOU THINK,

SHOULD I PICK IT UP?
KICK IT OFF THE STAGE?

KEEP GOING? I GRABBED
MY SHOE, POINTED AT

HER, TOOK THIS BEAUTIFUL
STATUE OF MY OTHER HAND.

I HAD A STRAPLESS PUMP. MY
FRIENDS WERE SO NICE ABOUT

IT. THEY SAID

"YOU WERE A SHOE-IN."
Nischelle: THAT'S AN

INCREDIBLE STORY. REAL-LIFE
CINDERELLA MOMENT.

YOU TOOK YOUR SLIPPER AND NOBODY
ELSE HAD TO GET IT FOR YOU.

I LOVE THAT, BETH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THEY ARE FLAT AND THEY ARE O

ON. WHEN WE RETURN,

WE FIND OUT WHO TAKES HOME
