[edit] Family
Falco was born in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Judith Anderson, an
actress, and Frank Falco, a jazz drummer.[1] Her father is Italian American
and her mother Swedish American.[2][3] Falco's siblings are Joseph, Paul and
Ruth. Her uncle is novelist, playwright and poet Edward Falco, an English
professor at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. She was raised in Northport and
West Islip,[4] on Long Island. She has an adopted son named Anderson Falco
and an adopted daughter named Macy Falco.
[edit] Education
Falco graduated from Northport High School in 1981, after playing Eliza
Doolittle in a production of My Fair Lady. She attended SUNY Purchase with
fellow actors Stanley Tucci and Ving Rhames; she remains friends with both.
[edit] Career
Her first big break in films was a small speaking role in the 1994 Woody
Allen film Bullets Over Broadway. Her friendship with former SUNY Purchase
classmate Eric Mendelsohn, who was the assistant to Allen's costume
designer, Jeffrey Kurland, helped her to be cast in the role. Mendelsohn
would go on to direct Falco in his feature film Judy Berlin, for which he
won "Best Director" honors at the Sundance Film Festival.
Falco in 2007.Falco, The X-Files star Gillian Anderson, Ugly Betty star
America Ferrera, and 30 Rock's Tina Fey are the only actresses to have
received a Golden Globe, an Emmy and a SAG Award in the same year. Falco won
these awards in 2003 for her performance as Carmela during the fourth season
of The Sopranos. Prior to that, she was a regular performer on Oz. She has
also had recurring roles on Law & Order and Homicide: Life on the Street.
Edie has won three Emmys, two Golden Globes and five Screen Actors Guild
Awards.[5]
Falco has appeared in the films Trust, Cop Land, Random Hearts, Freedomland,
and John Sayles' Sunshine State, for which she received the Los Angeles Film
Critics Award for "Best Supporting Actress". On Broadway, she appeared in
the Tony Award-winning Side Man and in the revivals of Frankie and Johnny in
the Clair de Lune opposite Stanley Tucci, and 'night, Mother opposite Brenda
Blethyn. She has also appeared as a guest star on the television shows 30
Rock and Will & Grace.
Edie is set to star as the title character in the Showtime dark comedy
series Nurse Jackie, premiering in June 2009.[6][7][8][9]
[edit] Politics
During the 2004 U.S. presidential election, Falco appeared in a 30-second
television commercial on behalf of M.O.B. (Mothers Opposing Bush) in which
she said "Mothers always put their children first. Mr. Bush, can you say the
same?" referring to George W.Bush who was running for re-election.[10]
Records show that she donated $1,000 to John Kerry's 2004 presidential
campaign, $300 to the Democratic National Committee in 2004, and two
separate sums of $1,000 and $300 to Hillary Clinton in 2005.[11]
[edit] Personal life
Falco has said she had problems with alcohol and decided to become sober
after "one particular night of debauchery." She said in an interview that it
is hard to be around the hard-partying cast of The Sopranos; "This cast (of
the Sopranos) in particular, they really love to hang out and party. They
make it look like fun. And it was fun for me! They spend a lot more time
without me than with me, by my own choice—I’m always invited, and I’m always
there for two minutes and I leave, because I can’t live in that world
anymore. It's too dangerous."[12]
In 2003, Edie was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she subsequently
survived. But being a very private person by nature, she chose not to make
the news public for approximately one year.[12]
