NY POST...PAGE 6

THE steamy, nude sex scenes Stanley Tucci and Edie Falco (right) played nightly
in "Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune" didn't require great acting,
sources say.

The two were so passionate for each other offstage that it wrecked Tucci's
marriage.

The actor, 43, and his wife, Kate, have 3-year-old twins, a boy, Nicolo, and a
girl, Isabel, as well as a 1-year-old daughter. But Tucci, who is in Arizona
making a movie, has split from his wife, his spokesman Stephen Huvane
confirmed.

"He remains totally devoted to his children. Beyond that he is not going to
comment," Huvane told PAGE SIX.

Kate - who has two teenage children from her first husband, Campbell Scott, the
son of the late great George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst - offered to try to
save the marriage. But a source said that Tucci "is not interested in
counseling."

Brooklyn-born Falco, 39, who is waiting to start work on her last season
playing James Gandolfini's wife Carmela on "The Sopranos," is single. She was
excited to work with Tucci, a fellow graduate of SUNY Purchase, even before
"Frankie & Johnny" opened on Broadway.

"Stanley graduated Purchase before I got there, but he was the one who everyone
talked about - the cool, idol type of guy," she told one reporter last year.

"Every production that he did at school was somewhat mythical, so the whole
idea that I'm getting to work with him now is crazy good fortune." Falco's
represenative had no comment.

Tucci and Falco had a five-month run in the hit revival of the Terence McNally
play before they were replaced last December by Joe Pantoliano and Rosie Perez.


Neighbors in the horsy country of Wilton, Conn., will miss the versatile Tucci,
who had a breakthrough in 1996 with "Big Night," which he co-wrote and
co-directed.

Is this true? His IMDB entry mentions a former wife Anne and a child born in
1998. I know that Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci have worked together
several times, but a web search turned up nothing to suggest that Campbell
Scott was married to a woman called Kate or has teenage chidren.

Hmmmmm........I remember that when "Big Night:" came out
and Tucci was being interviewed, he mentioned that he grew up
with and went to school with Scott....Strange. (Maybe not.)

I believe you are correct. The friendship between Campbell Scott and Stanley
Tucci is of very long duration and it is unlikely that they have "shared" a
wife. Tucci's wife is Kate, Scott's former wife is Anne, and the only mention of
children of either is a son born in 1998 to Scott and his then-wife.

I believe that Kate Scott is not the former wife of Campbell Scott, but rather,
his sister

She was previously married to Campbell’s elder brother (also an actor at that time) Alexander Scott
