Lee Daniels Dream Star is Susan Lucci

Oscar-nominated for directing Precious, Lee Daniels could probably work with just about any A-list actor in Hollywood. But the out director said on Canadian television the actress he's most eager to work with is daytime diva Susan Lucci.

I'd work with Susan Lucci from All My Children," Daniels told The Hour'shost, George Stroumboulopoulos. "You know Susan Lucci? I've met everybody from Meryl Streep to Daniel Day-Lewis. I'd be blown away to meet Susan Lucci. She's sort of hot!"
