Edie Falco exclusively opened up to Us about why she feels more akin to her ‘I’ll Be Right There’ character than the matriarch she played on ‘Sopranos’
When it comes to being a mom in her real life, Edie Falco feels much more salt of the earth than mob wife.
Directed by Brendon Walsh with a script by Jim Beggarly, I’ll Be Right There tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of Wanda, a woman finding her place now that her kids are grown, the divorce papers are signed and a new chapter of life is beginning. While Wanda still has her hands full with her sick mother , 8-months-pregnant daughter, Sarah , and wayward son, Mark , she’s also trying to figure out what life is like when she’s putting herself first.
“Those are two extraordinary actresses where I don't feel like they were trying to prove themselves. That helps you be better when you've got a little bit of confidence in your back pocket knowing that you're good at this. And I felt that with both of these women,” she said. “So it was really just the best of all possible scenarios where you're just having fun. It was easy and fun, always.
“I never know how that works, but I'll hear myself do a line and I'm like, ‘I said that to my son like yesterday,’” she quipped. “You don't do it on purpose, but it becomes a part of your parenting.” “A lot of people are like, ‘I’d like to direct.’ I got none of that,” she said. “I just want to do more of the same. Different, but more of the same. I don't have anything in particular, but I feel like, all of a sudden, a script feels almost magical. Like, a script will come to me, I'll be like, ‘Oh, my God, I never would've thought of that. What a great idea.’ That's what I wanna do next.
