Lorraine Bracco played Leonardo
DiCaprio's Mother in the Basketball Diaries. She has had quite a plentiful
career herself, but all of her work is not as well known.
"...So in this scene, I was messing
up over and over again, and Lorraine Bracco was the only person who was
getting on me, saying, 'You can do it, you can do it.' And I finally ended
up doing it right. She's the best woman I've ever worked with. Woman, as
far as older than me."
