The Daytime Emmys will bestow Lifetime Achievement honors on All My Children’s Susan Lucci, 76, and daytime talk-show host Maury Povich, 84, when its ceremony is held once the writers strike concludes, said the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) on Friday.
“We are thrilled to be recognizing two icons with Lifetime Achievement honors, Susan Lucci and Maury Povich. Both of them have had astonishing success and deep impact in the world of daytime television, Susan in drama series and Maury in talk, and have left their indelible marks on the industry,” said NATAS president/CEO Adam Sharp, in a statement.
