News and opinions about TV actress Edie Falco. According to Wikipedia: Edith Falco is a three-time Emmy winning American television, film and stage actress who is best known for her role as Carmela Soprano on HBO's award winning series The Sopranos, as well as Diane Wittlesey on the HBO show Oz.
Howdy Sopranos fans. No, our very own Carmela Soprano hasn’t become a nurse in real life. It’s just her role in the show Nurse Jackie. She plays the lead role of Nurse Jackie in this show. This role is entirely different from her role as Mrs. Soprano where she was used to polished talons and shrapnel’s. This reveals her versatility; she can easily fit into any kind of role. This actress has kept the show going with her acting skills. Here she plays a confused and hardworking nurse. She... Read Full Story
I'm a recent convert to The Sopranos and am now catching up slowly, watching it series by series on DVD. My Carmela impression is coming on a treat: "Toawnee! Wan' sum cworfee?" Anyway, I'm noticing some similarities between the family Soprano and Coronation Street. Jack Duckworth is Tony Soprano. The similarities between Tony's Freudian dreams about losing his ducks and Jack Duckworth's pigeon fetish has not gone unnoticed. Also, just like Tony, Jack has friends on the other side. You...

It was two years ago, almost to the day, that everything went black. You know: The finale of "The Sopranos," which ended with a blackout that seemed to last forever. It left the show's fans in the dark and drove them wild. It still does. But Edie Falco, having capped her stellar run as mobster wife Carmela Soprano, carried on with her life. Now she's got a new series, a new role, a new short haircut. (Carmela's big hair is history.) "Nurse Jackie" is a prickly comedy starring Falco as an ER... Read Full Story
“Life is full of little pricks”, don’t I know it
Showtime is becoming the network to beat with hits like Californication, The Tudors, Dexter and Weeds. In fact, I saw Evan Handler (formerly of HBO’s Sex & the City, currently on Showtime’s Californication) say in an TV interview that HBOver is how he describes his former network, which has failed to bounce back with blockbuster TV series since the end of The Sopranos and Sex & the City. After a 2 year hiatus, Showtime lured Edie Falco back... Read Full Story
Award-winning actress Edie Falco, cable television's no-nonsense "Nurse Jackie," delivered a stern message to lawmakers Thursday: fix health care. "I'm here because I've traveled through the health care system and there are some holes," Falco, a breast cancer survivor, told a Capitol Hill rally for health care overhaul. "I'm here because I care about the people in this country and I know that we can do better, that we must do better." Falco, who stars in the Showtime series "Nurse Jackie... Read Full Story
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Edie Falco's latest career turn offers a lesson in how to follow up one of the most successful dramas on American television: Take a two-year break from the small screen, cut your hair, scrub off the make-up, get rid of the long, mobster's wife fingernails and return to TV as a strong-willed, pill-popping nurse whose mantra is "I don't do chatty." Falco's new, title role on "Nurse Jackie," a dark comedy series which premieres on the Showtime cable channel on... Read Full Story

The stars came out in New York City last night to attend the premiere of Showtime’s Nurse Jackie . The title character will be played by former Sopranos star Edie Falco.
Nurse Jackie Peyton is a “flawed” emergency room nurse in a New York City hospital who sometimes has a taste for Vicodin and Adderall! I wonder if any of her former Sopranos co-stars plan to make cameos?
Yeah, right after we jump the shark. All of a sudden Paulie Walnuts: “What the fuck... Read Full Story
I have a confession to make. I have been rewatching “The Sopranos” from start to finish. I am currently on episode 4 of Season 5. Remember Season 5? Tony and Carmela are estranged? We get to watch Johnny Sac take a shit? Aid meets her maker? The dude from “Big” who gives Tom Hanks a job is a major bad ass?
I don’t know what I loved about the show more–Edie Falco’s amazingly tacky matching outfits (replete with gaudy jewelry), Jim Gandolfini’s effed up nasal passages, Steve Van Zandt’s... Read Full Story
