Edie Falco says she is nothing like Carmela Soprano. Nor does she have much in common with Nurse Jackie. But Falco made these characters\\xa0two of the most identifiable and\\xa0human\\xa0women\\xa0in television history. She has\\xa0an armful\\xa0of Emmys, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild Awards\\u2014and a cadre of dedicated fans\\u2014to prove it. Along the way, she\'s battled cancer, raised two children on her own, and is a recovering alcoholic. But Falco doesn\'t want your sympathy; she\\xa0tells host Alec Baldwin that\\xa0her greatest professional accomplishment is creating a fun, respectful atmosphere on-set. She\\xa0credits her multiple successes to good luck, great mentors, and says there\'s no predicting which way her career could have gone\\u2014or will go yet.\\xa0\\xa0
