Edie Falco family, husband, children, parents, siblings

Edie Falco won numerous Emmy and Golden Globe honors for portraying the iconic Carmela Soprano, a suburban New Jersey mother and troubled wife of an organized crime leader, in one of the most critically acclaimed television series of all time, “The Sopranos” (HBO, 1999–2007).

Before dominating television audiences as the manicured wife of a Mafia don, Falco had a recurring role on the gritty prison drama “Oz” (HBO, 1997–99) and police dramas like “Law & Order” (NBC, 1990–2010) and “Homicide: Life on the Street” (NBC, 1993–99), where she displayed a naturalistic acting style that was world-weary and independent, yet vulnerable.

The 59-year-old actress, who had spent more than a decade acting in small films like Hal Hartley and Nick Gomez, was hardly an overnight success; she had performed on innumerable New York stages.

Falco maintained her prominence, in contrast to her less well-known “The Sopranos” co-stars, by assuming the lead role in “Nurse Jackie” (Showtime, 2009–15), a dark comedy about a brilliant but drug-addicted emergency room nurse that once again thrust Falco back into award contention and gave her the chance to showcase her impressive acting talent.

Parents and Siblings

Her parents are jazz drummer Frank Falco, who later worked for an advertising business, and actress Judith Anderson. Her mother was 1/16th Cornish and had Swedish, English, and Cornish ancestry, while her father was of Italian descent. Ruth is her sister; Joseph and Paul are her brothers.

Spouse and Children
