How many times has Susan Lucci lost at the Emmys?
If you’re someone who’s worried about what kids today are missing out on from the glory days of the past, add understanding Susan Lucci’s greatness to the list.
Lucci began starring as the character Erica Kane on the daytime soap opera "All My Children" in 1970, and continued in the role until 2011 — for those counting, that’s a 41-year run. And she only stopped because ABC finally canceled the show (if anyone from ABC is reading this, shame on you).
But she didn’t just play the role for a long time, she was really good at it. So good that receiving an Emmy nomination kind of became her thing… as did not actually winning the award. How many times did Susan Lucci lose at the Emmys?

Correct Answer: 20
The answer is: 20. Susan Lucci is a legend of daytime TV, so much so that she was perennially nominated for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series — 21 times to be exact. She won it only once, in 1999, following her 19th nomination.Source
