Susan Lucci, who soared to fame as Erica Kane on All My Children, and even did a season on Dancing With The Stars, has attracted a growing group of followers to her Instagram platform. But while Susan has shared a variety of photos showing that she seems to have found the Fountain Of Youth, Lucci has avoided the trend for over-50 stars such as Elizabeth Hurley to flood their social media with bikini pictures. Like Liz Hurley, Susan is coming out with a new style line for which she's her own best top model. So should fans look for Lucci to wear bikinis in her Instagram pictures?
Talking with People magazine, Susan revealed that she does sometimes purchase bikinis. But because the soap opera star is still so popular with her fans, sometimes people come up to her even in the most secluded locations. Therefore, although Lucci has the bikinis and the body to wear them, she admits she's usually "too shy" to actually sport those two-piece items in public.
Declaring herself a "one-piece" bathing suit woman, Susan shared that she had an unusual reaction when she learned that paparazzi had photographed her in a bright red, strapless swimsuit when Lucci was on vacation in Barbados. The All My Children star said she was surprised, but after her friends sent her the photos that made the Internet go wild, Lucci thought it was wonderful.
"This is probably not normal but then around day five I was looking for the paparazzi to thank them because they took really nice pictures [of Susan Lucci in her red strapless swimsuit]."
