Edie Falco completesbreast cancer treatment
"Sopranos" star Edie Falco was diagnosed last year with breast cancer but has completed her treatment and is healthy, a representative for the 41-year-old actress told The Associated Press.
Falco worked on the HBO show during her treatment, but her representative wouldn't comment Wednesday on whether she underwent chemotherapy or surgery.
She will soon begin rehearsals for Marsha Norman's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, 'Night, Mother, also starring Brenda Blethyn, which will open on Broadway in November.
Falco has won three Emmy Awards for her role as mob wife Carmela Soprano on "The Sopranos," and has been nominated for a fourth Emmy this year.
Will Smith puts on showfor fans in London
LONDON -- Will Smith delighted fans with an outdoor concert before the British premiere of his latest film, "I, Robot."
Accompanied by DJ Jazzy Jeff, Smith performed for about 3,000 people Wednesday outside the Odeon theater in London's Leicester Square. The set included hits "Summertime" and "Men in Black," and Smith's latest single, "Switch."
"When you have these kind of events everybody can't get in. I wanted to give the people who came to support me a little treat out here," the 35-year-old actor-rapper said.
"I, Robot," a sci-fi thriller in which Smith plays a detective investigating androids run amok, allowed him to blend two long-standing interests, he said.
