Edie Falco

Edie Falco, Friend of TeachersCount
"Passion 101". That's what Edie Falco says her high school music class should have been called. "My teacher, Sandy Valerio, taught me to understand that whether I'm singing or acting, I'm using an instrument. And the instrument is me".

Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher.
