Susan Lucci surprises a fan on The Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris.
On Tuesday October 13, “All My Children” alum Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane, 1970 to 2011) surprised a member of the studio audience of NBC’s “The Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris.” Margarita Montimore had no idea why she was there but soon found out she was part of the ‘Oh, Dear Diary’ segment when Harris revealed her diary from the 1990s. “How did you get that?” she asked and became frantic when Harris looked as though he was going to read it. He quickly clarified, “No, I’m not going to read it. I’m going to have soap opera legend Susan Lucci do it for me.” Watch the videos to see how it all unfolded and stay tuned to season four of “Devious Maids” to see the actress play Genevieve Delatour on Lifetime in 2016.
