Susan Lucci turns 76! Inside ageless beauty's enduring marriage with late husband Helmut Huber
LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK: Veteran actress-dancer Susan Lucci turns 76! The evergreen beauty continues to prove that age is just a number with her ageless looks and continued career strides. Lucci’s secret to healthy skin even after all these years seems to be the discipline she shows toward her routine. But that is not all! Through her long marriage to her late husband, Helmut Huber, the 'All My Children' actress is the happy mother of two children, Lisa, 47, and Andreas, and a loving grandmother to five grandchildren.
Lucci’s elegant look in her 70s has turned millions of eyeballs and she credits her health and wellness routine for it. "If you train hard, you can offset some of what you've got going against you,” the actress stated as per Amomama. She has also repeatedly insisted that “70 is the new 40” and that she continues to learn, grow, and pushes herself to do something new every day. Lucci has expressed her want to be in front of the camera for as long as she can and also return to Broadway soon.

Lucci may have had a long and illustrious career, but she is very much associated with her ageless looks. She has said that her parents had great skin and that it passed on to her, and that everyone should pay attention to the signals their skin and bodies are giving them. She follows her skincare routine with military discipline, even if it means staying up late. However, despite her recognition for her drop-dead looks, Lucci has been vocal about how beauty is so much more. "People look at me and say, 'Wow, she doesn't seem old, but she is old.' Meanwhile, the reality is if you're strong, you're beautiful, no matter what age you are,” she stated as per Amomama.
Lucci’s personal life was also nothing short of perfect. Lucci and Helmut Huber got married in 1969 and stayed blissfully together until his death in March 2022, aged 84. The actress has taken a backseat from the spotlight following his death, but she continues to love him even now. For Huber's birthday in October, she had also uploaded a photo of herself holding a piece of cake with a birthday candle. The late Austrian Television producer would have turned 85 years old.
Lucci further opened up about the secret to a long and enduring marriage as well. She compares it to a skincare routine and says, "I think it's like taking care of your skin. I think you just do a little bit every day. You do something good every day and you remember every day why you fell in love. You don't lose track of that and tell him."
Lucci was most recently seen co-hosting ‘Good Day NY’ and was the TV commentator for the 80th Golden Globe Awards. She continues to set an example for everyone through her hard work and sheer dedication toward her personal and professional goals.
