 BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - One day last month, I abandoned my normal life and became a soap star. Leaving Manhattan's claustrophobic Pine Valley set behind, ABC's "All My Children" packed up all its drama and headed to Florida to film the 10th wedding of Erica Kane.
And in a well-crafted publicity stunt, ABC offered the chance for this mild-mannered entertainment reporter to take on the role I was born to play: myself.
Full disclosure: I'm no soap fan. I've never seen an entire episode of "AMC," but I do know Erica Kane, the glamourpuss matriarch played with extreme sassiness by Susan Lucci. After that unprecedented Emmy losing streak, who doesn't know her?
