Aida Turturro is an actress who was born in New York City on September 25, 1962. Her career began to take off in the late 1980s with her cinematic debut in 1989??s True Love, as a cousin to actor-director John Turturro. Turturro made her first guest appearance on the hit television program Law & Order the following year. She made her Broadway debut in 1992 in a revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange. Eunice Hubbell, a neighbor of Stanley and Stella Kowalski, was played by her, with James Gandolfini as her husband. Later in their careers, the two would collaborate in probably the most acrimonious brother-sister relationship on television. In 1992, she also made her directing debut in Mac, directed by her cousin John. Turturro has portrayed everything from a prostitute to a fortune teller in his career. In 1994, she starred alongside Geena Davis in the film Angie. Davis' single mother was her greatest friend, and she was her best friend. She went on to garner high praise for her portrayal as an unsuccessful event designer in the indie film Denise Calls Up (1995). She continues to act in films such as Celebrity (1998), directed by Woody Allen and Bringing Out the Dead (1999). (1999). Turturro also made a couple more cameos on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She depicted a range of nationalities, from Greek to Hispanic, with her dark hair and olive skin. Turturro is most recognized for her role in the TV show The Sopranos. Janice Soprano, sister of crime leader Tony Soprano, played by her former co-star James Gandolfini, joined the award-winning dramatic series in 2000 as Janice Soprano. Janice appeared to be a hippie, earth mother character at first. Despite her new-age rhetoric, the character was proven to be a great manipulator, much like her mother. Janice wasn't hesitant to take matters into her own hands if the situation demanded it. In 2001, Turturro was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her depiction of Janice. Turturro and Gandolfini collaborated on another project in 2005, the film Romance & Cigarettes, written and directed by her cousin John Turturro. Mixed reviews were given to the musical comedy. Aside from performing, Aida Turturro has spoken up about rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and diabetes, two health concerns that are extremely personal to her.

Turturro hasn't allowed either disease to stop her from pursuing her dreams.
