Tucci's illustrious career on the Great White Way began in 1963 with her Broadway debut in The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, a performance that marked the first of fourteen Broadway credits to her name.

One of her principal roles was that of Rose Delle Rose opposite the talented Maureen Stapleton in the 1966 production of The Rose Tattoo by the renowned Tennessee Williams.

In 1967, Tucci took on the challenging role of Alexandra Giddens in a revival of The Little Foxes by the celebrated Lillian Hellman, starring alongside the esteemed Anne Bancroft as her mother.

Two years later, she replaced the talented Jane Alexander in The Great White Hope, a production that showcased her impressive range as a performer.

Tucci's transition to the big screen began in 1969 with appearances in Robert Frank's Me and My Brother and a CBS Playhouse production titled Shadow Game.

Her early film credits also include a role in Sidney Lumet's 1983 film Daniel, in which she played the part of Lisa.

In Gus Van Sant's 1995 film To Die For, Tucci brought Angela Maretto to life on the silver screen.

Her impressive body of work has earned her a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play in 1967 for her performance in The Rose Tattoo.
