From the Daily News Now Network, this is Corey with Entertainment and Celebrity News today. Edie Falco recently shared a behind-the-scenes story from the sopranos at the Museum of the Moving Image. The event honored the show with a special exhibition, featuring a screening of the Season 3 episode, a second opinion. She joined creator David Chase and cast member Dominic Cannees for a panel discussion. Falco talked about working with veteran actor Sully Boyar, who played the psychiatrist Dr. Crackerware in that episode. At the time, Boyar was elderly and struggled to remember his lines, turning a simple scene into an all-day challenge for the crew. The team showed real patience, using tricks like quick camera rolls after feeding him words. They even made large cue cards that Falco held off camera, moving them slowly to make it look like he was gazing into her eyes. In the end, the scene came out perfect with no one spotting the issues. Falco, now 62, reflected on how age sneaks up, making her appreciate those tough days more now.

That season, earned Falco her second prime time Emmy for lead actress in a drama. Boyar, a season character actor, passed away from cancer in 2001 at age 77, soon after his sopranos role.
