Personal Life
In 2003, Falco was diagnosed with breast cancer. She chose not to make the news public until the following year.
Falco had problems with alcohol and decided to become sober after "one particular night of debauchery." She said in an interview that it is hard to be around the hard-partying cast of The Sopranos; "This cast (of The Sopranos) in particular, they really love to hang out and party. They make it look like fun. And it was fun for me! They spend a lot more time without me than with me, by my own choice—I'm always invited, and I'm always there for two minutes and I leave, because I can't live in that world anymore. It's too dangerous." She is an advocate of Alcoholics Anonymous's 12-step program.
Falco adopted a son, Anderson, in 2005 and a daughter, Macy, in 2008.
