She’s had great roles on Broadway, in film and on television. Early in her career, Edie Falco appeared on Law & Order and Homicide: Life on the Streets. She played a prison officer in Oz and the drug-addicted Jackie Peyton on Nurse Jackie. But Falco’s breakout role was starring as Carmela Soprano, the long-suffering wife of mob boss Tony Soprano on The Sopranos which is considered to be one of the best series ever on television. Falco is also a vegan, a Buddhist, a single mother and as far away from a diva as you can get. I talked to her about why she’s so open to change and committed to living every moment as it comes.
