LUCCI & HUSBAND STRANDED IN FLOOD WATERS
Beloved US soap star SUSAN LUCCI and her husband called on the help of a New York restaurateur when the couple was left stranded in rising flood waters yesterday (31AUG06).
Lucci’s Mercedes broke down on New York Route 104, leaving the couple desperate for a lift.
But, as motorists ignored Lucci and her husband for almost 30 minutes, the couple started to worry they’d be left stranded in the flood.
Uncle Jack’s Steakhouse owner WILLIAM JACK DEGEL eventually stopped to help the couple out.
He tells the New York Daily News, "I drove up to the car really, really slowly and I pulled up next to the gentleman and they both looked frightened.
Their electrical system didn’t work.
"She was a sweetheart and her husband was a gentleman. He said to me, ‘Not too many people can say they picked up Susan Lucci.’"
