Edie Falco on Her Connection with James Gandolfini
During the interview, Edie Falco, now 60 years old, revealed that she couldn’t hold back her tears while reading the script for The Sopranos series finale back in 2007. As the 1999 crime drama reaches its silver jubilee, the Emmy-winning actress reflected on the profound impact the show had on many lives. “I was out of control. I was embarrassed. I really couldn’t stop crying, it was ridiculous,” shared the Nurse Jackie star.
She recounted a line from the series finale script that resonated with her emotions at that time. “It was, ‘This thing in this moment will never happen again to me, to anyone,’” Falco added.
Speaking about her on-screen chemistry with the late James Gandolfini, who portrayed Tony Soprano, Falco praised their natural rapport, describing it as effortless. Both coming from Italian backgrounds, she attributed their strong connection to this shared heritage. “It was, you know, a 10-year marriage. And it was as close to a real one as I had known,” Falco remarked.
