NEW YORK, June 24 (UPI) -- Edie Falco has been honored with an iconic wall caricature of herself at New York's famed Sardi's restaurant, publicists for her current Broadway project said.

Falco is best known for her work on TV's "Oz," "The Sopranos" and "Nurse Jackie." She has also appeared in the Broadway plays "Side Man," "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune" and "'night, Mother." She currently stars opposite Alison Pill in Naked Angels' stage drama "This Wide Night," which was written by playwright Chloe Moss and directed by Anne Kauffman.

Falco was presented with the wall caricature Tuesday, said representatives of "This Wide Night," which is set to wrap its limited engagement Sunday.

"A prison sentence isn't over once you leave jail," said a synopsis of the play. "Having just begun to rebuild a life on the outside, Marie (played by Pill) is confronted with her past when former cellmate Lorraine (played by Falco) shows up unannounced on her doorstep. The two outcasts, once so close on the inside, struggle to navigate a friendship beyond the prison walls -- which may threaten their prospects to start over."
