For her education, she went to the Northport High School from where she graduated and proceeded to the State University of New York at Purchase where she got a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting.

Husband And Kids

If you are wondering who The Sopranos star is married to, she has never been married. As she revealed, even though this is not conventional, she is very much happy with her life as she does not get to go into the kind of arguments and problems that married couples have.

The actress, however, said she wants love in her life but she has gotten enough of that from her family. What seems to be affecting her perception of marriage is her experience with the marriage of her parents which had many problems before later ending in a divorce. More so, she has not seen many marriages that have turned out to be great, so, she has seen no reason to get married. That said, she has been in some relationships in the past including with Stanley Tucci from 2003 to 2004 and Bill Sage in 2009.

Even as she has never had a husband, Falco has two adopted kids. She adopted Anderson in 2005 and in 2008, she adopted Macy.

Net Worth

A woman who has been around for many years in Hollywood and has acted both on screen and stage with many accolades, it will be very simplistic to say Edie Falco has paid her dues in full. She has an estimated net worth of $40 million to show for her hard work.
