Edie Falco stars as Jackie O'Hurley on Showtime's dark comedy, "Nurse Jackie."

Edie Falco became the only actress to ever receive the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Dramatic Series, the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Dramatic Television Series, and the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama, all in the same year for her performance as "Carmela Soprano" in the debut season of groundbreaking HBO series "The Sopranos." Edie Falco has subsequently been nominated for each award for each eligible television season, winning two additional Emmy Awards, another Golden Globe Award and SAG Award, as well as the American Film Institute's Award for Female Television Actor of the Year. When Edie Falco received the Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama, it was the first time in the history of the TCA that the award was presented to a woman.

Edie Falco is also known to television audiences from her recurring roles in the HBO dramatic series "Oz" and the acclaimed NBC series "Law and Order" and "Homicide." Edie Falco made her Broadway debut in the Tony Award winning play "Sideman," which she originated in its off-Broadway production. For her performance, Edie Falco received a Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk Award nomination for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play. Edie Falco went on to make her London stage debut in the West End premiere of "Sideman," and thereafter opened the London production of the highly successful play "The Vagina Monologues." When Edie Falco starred opposite Stanley Tucci in the lauded revival of "Frankie and Johnny" in the Claire de Lune, the play broke four house box office records at Broadway's Belasco Theatre making it the most successful play on Broadway all season.

Edie Falco appeared on Broadway most recently opposite Brenda Blethyn in the first revival of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "'Night, Mother." For the feature film "Cost of Living," Edie Falco received the American Film Institute's Best Actress Award. Edie Falco's performance in the film "Laws of Gravity" earned her an Independent Spirit Award Nomination for Best Female Lead Actor. Edie Falco's other film credits include "A Price Above Rubies," "Copland," "Trouble on the Corner," "Private Parts," "Hurricane," "Layin' Low," "Breathing Room," "The Funeral," "The Addiction," "Bullets Over Broadway," "Trust," "The Unbelievable Truth," "Random Hearts," and the title character in the award-winning film "Judy Berlin." For her performance in John Sayles' "Sunshine State," Edie Falco received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and New York Film Critics Online Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Edie Falco recently completed shooting the feature films "The Quiet" and "The Great New Wonderful" and was most recently seen in "Freedomland" opposite Julianne Moore and Samuel L. Jackson.
