Edie Falco



She'll always be Carmela Soprano to a lot of TV fans, but her over-40 role as a drug-addicted nurse and married mom on Nurse Jackie has proven that The Sopranos actress Edie Falco, 48, can more than hold her own. Age certainly doesn't get in the way of her acting -- Falco won an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series in 2010 for her role in the Showtime hit, and was nominated for the same award this year. "After 32 everybody is the same age. My friends and I all forget who's older," Falco told Ugo.com. The breast-cancer survivor, 48, also juggles work with her home life as the single mom of two adopted children, son Anderson, 6, and daughter Macy, 3.
