Lisa LoCicero - Overview:

Lisa LoCicero plays Olivia Falconeri, a dark beauty with an inner toughness and a big secret. LoCicero first appeared as Olivia on General Hospital in 2008 and was an immediate hit with fans. Born April 18, 1970 in Grosse Point, Michigan, LoCicero first burst onto the soap opera scene in 1995.

Lisa LoCicero:

Lisa LoCicero started in daytime as Jocelyn Roberts Brown on Loving in its final season, and then stayed with the character when the show was spun off as The City. When The City ended in 1997, she moved into film (The Family Man, Rush Hour 2) and television roles, including spots on Law & Order, Viper, NYPD Blue, and Star Trek 2: Voyager.

In 2001, after she had her son Lukas with husband Michael Patrick Jann, she took a small break, doing voiceovers. From 2004-2007, she played the role of Maria Storm in the series that Jann directed, Reno 911! In 2004, she also appeared on One Life to Live as Sonia Toledo Santi. Sonia was actually LoCicero's second choice; she was first offered the recurring role of Kathryn Fitzgerald. She turned it down because it would mean too much time away from her family in California. Sofia and Tico Santi were cut from the show in late 2004.

In the fall of 2008, LoCicero again entered daytime as Olivia Falconeri, Kate Howard's cousin, on General Hospital, originally in a recurring role; she then was put under contract.
