Despite having one of the busiest careers in Hollywood, talented Actress and Dancer, Susan Lucci was blessed with a loving husband who knew how best to make her smile. He once gifted her ceiling decorations for their exquisite ocean-view home.
Susan Lucci’s bright smile and baby doll voice made her performances sensational. The “All My Children” star also had an exciting love life involving her husband of more than five decades.
Lucci met the Austrian-born Helmut Huber before becoming a TV star. She worked as a waitress in Golden City Hotel, where Huber was the hotel’s chef and head of the food and beverage service.
At first, they were friends, even though they were attracted to each other. At the time, the waitress was engaged, and her parents invited Huber to the engagement party.
Eventually, things changed, and their friendship blossomed into a connection that stood the test of time. The couple tied the knot in 1969 and remained married until Huber’s death. They supported and loved each other unconditionally throughout their marriage, as expected from a real power couple.
Huber worked closely with his wife, becoming her manager. He also maintained his passion for cooking as an extended chef while running Pine Valley Productions.
Apart from being a supportive husband looking out for his wife’s career, Huber is noted for saving her life. In 2019, Lucci dealt with seasonal chest pain, which she often made excuses for and dismissed.
Eventually, after seeing a doctor, she realized that her heart was in danger and had to be scheduled for heart surgery. Thankfully, after a full recovery, Lucci felt lucky about her sound health, especially since she had a shoulder to lean on.
The dancer admitted that she never gave much concern to her health; instead, she was consumed with work. However, Lucci wanted to share her story to inspire her audience to pay attention to the most subtle body discomfort.
Since then, Lucci has experienced sound health and manages to look youthful at 76. Her husband also enjoyed a sound mind and health until his death in March 2022. The Austrian native died peacefully in Long Island, New York. He was 84 years old, survived by his radiant wife, their two kids, his two kids from a former marriage, and his grandkids.
Lucci is grieving her long-term partner and has asked the public for some privacy. Upon his death, his family released an official statement labeling him a family man and a loyal friend. Before his passing, Huber saw his two kids with Lucci grow into successful and responsible adults.
Their daughter, Liza Huber, now 48, inherited her mother’s acting skills. Like the veteran, she began her acting career as a young lady in the soap opera “Passions,” which ran for nearly a decade.
After that, she married and started a family. Liza has four sons: Royce, Brendan, Hayden, and Mason. In addition to looking after her family, the mother of four also runs a business known as “Sage Spoonfuls.”
During his time at Georgetown University, he won the Big East Championship for himself and the team. Before retiring to entrepreneurship, he played for the Canadian PGA Tour and European Challenge Tour.
