About

“Shemar Moore gave me the Emmy. When I turned around and I saw the whole room on their feet I didn’t know if I could keep standing. I could feel my legs going out from under me. I thought, ‘Oh my god, I don’t even know if I can speak.’ It was just amazing. I'll never forget that as long as I live.” - Susan Lucci, Actress
