Bankrate: Can you talk about the lean times of your bankruptcy?
Lorraine Bracco: It was a very embarrassing situation. I was getting foreclosure notices and everyone wanted their money. And I couldn't find any work at the time. I had a mortgage, taxes, food and everything else to pay at the end of the month, including lawyers. I was never one of those top-paid actresses, but I was working steadily for a while.
