Soap Icon Susan Lucci Launches Jewelry Line For An Important Cause

Publish date: 2024-05-05

As the American Heart Association explained, Susan Lucci had twice ignored signs of a heart attack. Fortunately, she was able to get the medical help she needed, stating, “Maybe there’s something more important that can come out of telling my story rather than keeping it to myself. I was incredibly lucky, and I want to pass that luck on.”

On a recent episode of “Today,” hosted by Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager — as part of American Heart month — Lucci discussed her heart issues, noting that she was ignoring chest pains until things got worse. Fortunately, the manager of a boutique she was in was kind enough to drive her to a local hospital. She remarked that after the first incident, she went back to her old ways instead of following her checklist: “Listen to your symptoms, get checked out, know your numbers, and put yourself on your to-do list.” 

The hosts asked Lucci about her heart-shaped necklace. She explained that she created it as a reminder to women, “To keep on being vigilant.” She designed it as, “Something concrete to shine a fresh light on the situation.” The necklace is a tangible reminder for women to be aware of any heart attack symptoms and maintain their heart health.

An exuberant Lucci also shared the good news that a possible “All My Children” reboot is in the works, so our fingers are crossed!
